Felicity Provan Quartet
Four special musical personalities interweave songs, poems and stories with jazz and improvisation.
felicity provan plays cornet and sings in her current quartet, in which she offers plenty of freedom to the voices and instruments of her fellow players with emphasis on the interplay and alternation of voice and instrument. poetic stories and songs, lyrical melodies and captivating grooves continue to take on new forms, from delicate and sensitive to wild and erratic.
originally from australia, felicity provan is an established name in the amsterdam improv scene. she has regularly performed on our stage with, among others, sean bergin’s new mob, astronotes led by joost buis, naked wolf, trio achim kaufmann and lily kiara. her quartet has a remarkable international line-up featuring ada rave on saxophone, harald austbø on cello and michael vatcher on drums.
‘it’s not only the humour and the slightly theatrical that makes this special, placing the conception of ‘song’ in a wholly different light. these musicians, who are key figures in the ever so innovative amsterdam jazz scene, also happen to play very good’ (ben taffijn, draai om je oren).
