SIMIN TANDER QUARTET
Presentation CD Wagma
Simin Tander voice/compositions, Jeroen van Vliet piano, Cord Heineking bass, Etienne Nillesen drums
German-Afghan singer Simin Tander is a unique presence in the European jazz landscape. She stands out for her tremendous variety of timbres and expressions, and for her free approach to language. Following performances with the likes of Eric Vloeimans she now presents her debut CD Wagma with her own quartet. These young musicians effortlessly integrate Eastern modes and rhythms in their Western musical vocabulary. ‘An authentic talent that spices up her jazz with oriental sounds and free and intuitively placed notes’ (NRC).
