Vigsy’s Club Tip: St Germain at The Troxy
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 13 November 2015
Parisian Ludovic Navarre, as St Germain, took us to jazz-infused house pastures with his seminal ‘Boulevard’ LP. It’s hard to believe that was two decades ago. Check his excellent beatsy jazz blend of soul from back then right here.
After a long hiatus he has returned with a new album, ‘Real Blues’, to mixed reviews, taking his formula in a slightly more world music direction. But I’m still hooked. And this is the tour. And this is his only UK date this year. I’m sure there’ll also be a few tracks off his huge ‘Tourist’ LP, which garnered considerable praise in 2000 with the massive ‘Rose Rouge’.
Support is from Atjazz – the highly underrated Martin Iveson – the UK jazz house aficionado who ran the sadly defunct Mantis Records from the heart of England. If you don’t own his ‘Labfunk’ album, it’s really time you did. Here’s a track from it.
Tuesday 17 Nov, The Troxy, 490 Commercial Road, London E1 0HX, 7pm – 11pm, £28.50. More info here.
