A natural talent, a born jazz singer’, was the judgement of the jury that awarded Francien van Tuinen the first prize of the Dutch Jazz Vocalist Concours in 1997. Since that moment things went at high speed for her, she recorded two CD’s and by now, she ranks among the best young vocalists of the Netherlands. With her third album, ‘A Perfect Blue Day’, Francien and her band (with master guitarist Jesse van Ruller) strike out on a new course. Their repertoire moves between jazz, intimate singer/songwriter ballads, solid jungle grooves and catchy popsongs, with original compositions and lyrics.
