On Saturday jan 19th, 2013 Salihara held one of the event featuring the main and only act for the night .
The performance was politely opened with an Assalamalikum greeting from the leader of this outfit Shadu Rasjidi a percussionist turned bass player who also a proud son of Indonesian jazz pianist maestro Idang Rasjidi; but this night was not a polite one though, it's a vulgar display of talents from all of the members which include Shaku Rasjidi (drum), Fanny Kuncoro (Piano/keyboard), Ayla Noor Iman Adjie (Guitar), Fabion Haryo Ajie (saxophone), and Indra Arti Dauna (trumpet).
From the get go, the first pick of Shadu's electric bass created a rich aura of funk, slapping the audience in the face along with the fusion foundation of this young outfit. by playing Davis' Splacth and followed by Groovin Licks by Idang Rasjidi, these opening tunes were fast and dynamic, an indication of where this outfit is going to be in the future. which is a reminder of where they're from Bogor. This particular piece started with a cool west coast sound and gradually progressed into a fast funk fusion, which is the signature sound of Sahdu's and it's only natural since he used to play in an Funk Ensamble along with his siblings.
The night was also highlighted with a spontaneous performance by Idang Rasjidi who is sitting with us the audience, he got up a did a quick majestic 2 minutes piano solo during the encore and that conclude the buzz that we had the whole night! Great performance by the youngsters and watch for them blowing up in stages near you or far.
