FAY CLAASSEN
i.c.w. Wereldomroep
Fay Claassen-vocals, Olaf Polziehn-piano, Ingmar Heller-bass, Hans Dekker-drums
On her new CD Red, Hot & Blue, Dutch singer Fay Claassen interprets compositions by Cole Porter from classics such as ‘Love for Sale’ and ‘I Get a Kick Out of You’ to lesser known gems. Sensuous renditions like ‘Easy to Love’ are alternated with eccentric reinterpretations. ‘Fay Claassen is to singing what Audrey Hepburn was to the movies: elegant and graceful.’ (Cadence) ‘The exciting new voice on the international jazz scene.’ (Jazz Times)
