FIDAN
Esra Dalfidan-vocals, Tobias Klein-bass clarinet, Franz von Chossy-piano, Sean Fasciani-double basss, Uli Genenger-drums
Fidan, the name of singer Esra Dalfidan’s band, first made a name for itself two years ago during the B-oost Festival in the Bimhuis. Dalfidan subsequently won the Jazz Vocalist Concourse with her Turkish tinted compositions and Franz von Chossy the Dutch Jazz Competition with his own trio. Tonight Fidan is launching its debut album Colors (Challenge Records). “At turns Dalfidan sounds wistful and yearning and then high-spirited, fiery and exciting.” (NRC Handelsblad).
