What ? Think NY Peppermint lounge late 50s, transported into now. It's a spirit. From Juke-Joint sound to Jamaican Soundsystems of early 50s, with american Jump-up Blues and Jive, to Bongo Rock, Mod or one-man band Garage sound to simple RocknRoll. Counter culture.
Hoochie Koo presents a unique Soundsystem (Dj/MC/Sax etc.)- original Gogo dancers, international Burlesque and live music acts. It's a living film set. Hosted by Don Rogall, creator of the new Bassy Compilation.

EARL ZINGER :
Earl Zinger started his career in late forties New York. A well respected crooner of his day, he plied his trade up and down the bars of 52nd Street. He had already been credited with initiating many of the dance steps of the time such as the 'Harlem Stride' or the better known 'Manhattan Rhumba' when he teamed up with various songwriters. Through these liaisons Zinger penned some of the best known ballads of the day. At the same time he was introduced by female singer Verdeen Anderson to a group of young writers. These were names that were later to have a profound effect on the American cultural psyche. Figures such as William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac all became close friends with Zinger. 
In the early sixties he was introduced to a young singer called Robert Zimmerman. Through a deep mutual respect, young Robert trusted Zinger's advice and changed his name to Bob Dylan. This provided Zinger with an opportunity to play keyboard on two of his albums of that time - 'Freewheelin'' & ' The Times They Are a Changin', as well as contributing lyrics to a plethora of his tunes. Collaborations with Motown, Atlantic and Stax artists kept him busy until a trip to Jamaica where he met both nascent and established talent such as Coxsonne Dodd, King Tubby, U-Roy, Big Youth, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Lee Perry and, later, a young Bob Marley.
