Last week we celebrated 10 years of our Youtube Channel Venus Tunes, which also would become the name of the label. 300 videos uploaded, worth more than 800.000 views, mostly jazz, funk and house. Most videos are filmed by Robert Glass. How did it start? It all started after this event: We bumped into the James Brown Band by coincidence, july 2006 in Istanbul, jamming with them after the James Brown concert (Parkorman) in Mayotte, a music cafe on Istiklal Caddesi and we didn't have a video camera with us, just some very unusable videos and luckily we made some pictures with the band and with James Brown earlier that day. Unneccessarily to say that it was a burning jam, during absence of a camera the funk was present! We regretted that we didn't have the camera with us! From that moment on the camera and Robert became ONE...
I have many favourites, especially the Bimhuis gigs, touring with Fred Wesley in France, but also performing with George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, playing with dj's... impossible to mention my favourites. Which ones are your favourites?
