DEBORAH BROWN & THE ERIC INEKE JAZZXPRESS

FOR THE LOVE OF IVIE – A Tribute to Ivie Anderson

Deborah Brown vocals, Rik Mol trumpet/ flügelhorn, Sjoerd Dijkhuizen tenor saxophone, Rob van Bavel piano, Marius Beets bass, Eric Ineke drums

JazzXpress is led by Eric Ineke, a solid, dependable drummer on the Dutch jazz scene for several decades. With the CD For the Love of Ivie, JazzXpress and American singer Deborah Brown pay tribute to the unique, bluesy voice of Ivie Anderson, who was a vocalist for Duke Ellington’s ensemble from 1931 to 1942. ‘Brown’s husky, dark tone of voice reveals a depth worthy of a true diva’ (Trouw).
