SINGING 30 YEARS LATER
Fay Claassen-vocals, Karel Boehlee-piano, Jan Wessels-trumpet, flugelhorn, Hein van de Geyn-bass, John Engels-drums
A mega-production without equal. The three star performers are Fay Claassen, Jan Menu and Hein Van de Geyn. The hard grind for this exceptional double program has in every respect produced extremely fresh interpretations and solo contributions.’ (DownBeat). This double tribute to Chet Baker (who died in Amsterdam in 1988) consists of an evocation of the famous quartet with Gerry Mulligan in which Fay Claassen performs the part of the trumpet player and interprets Baker’s vocal style, surrounded by a star formation.
