Kim Nazarian (Co-founder New York Voices)
Henk Kraaijeveld is a versatile jazz vocalist and songwriter from The Netherlands who brings together compelling music with strong lyrics, storytelling and surprising improvisations. Playful and light-footed elements alternate with intense and vivacious grooves and harmonies. Crossovers are made between old and new styles of jazz, including elements from classical and popular music.
Early 2013, Kraaijeveld won both jury- and audience award at the 10th edition of the Dutch Vocal jazz competition (Nederlands Jazz Vocalisten Concours) The jury praised his ‘relaxed performance in which he connects very well with the audience, blends his warm and beautiful voice perfectly with the sound of the band, while showing an impressive vocal range’.
Kraaijeveld graduated cum laude from Utrecht Conservatory in 2012 and studied at Manhattan School of Music, New York with renowned songwriter, composer and arranger Peter Eldridge.
“Paul van der Feen manifesteerde zich als een uiterst vindingrijke saxofonist, boordevol muzikale humor.” Koen Edeling
“Hij heeft zich ontwikkeld tot een bijzonder interessante muzikale persoonlijkheid, die met saxofonist Paul van der Feen het nodige muzikale risico neemt. Muzikaal samenspel op het scherpst van de snede, spatzuiver en met bijzonder spannende solo’s van Van der Feen op sopraansaxofoons.” Jazzenzo.nl
