Fay Claassen & David Linx: And Still We Sing
Fay Claassen vocals, David Linx vocals, Paul Heller sax, Magnus Lindgren sax/flute, Billy Test piano, Aram Kersbergen bass, Hans Dekker drums
With this concert, Fay Claassen celebrates the release of her third collaborative album with the prestigious WDR Big Band. ‘… And Still We Sing’ is its name, which paraphrases one of the most famous poems of American writer and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, ‘… And Still I Rise’. The choice of this title is inspired by the joy and its duty, happiness in all its delight, necessity, perseverance, the search for excellence, going against the grain.
Singer Fay Claassen will be joined on stage with Belgian singer David Linx, with whom she has collaborated for two decades years already. Together they wrote the compositions, which will be complemented with pieces by van Ivans Lins, Thijs van van Leer en Paul Heller.
