In the land of Dutch jazz vocalists, Henk Kraaijeveld occupies a unique place.  The award-winning singer and composer disarms audiences with his warm voice and nimbleness. As a jazz "trained" musician, Henk prefers "mystery over mastery" anyway, which gives him the freedom to be led into both dark and bright corners.

 

His adventurous songs bring together his love of poetry and improvisation, inspired by Sufi poet Rumi, Pat Metheny, Bobby McFerrin and Sting, among others. Influences that can be found on his latest album Patches of Sky on songs like Patience, with its soaring melody and spiritual lyrics and Long Road, based on the famous Peaky Blinders Netflix series. At the same time, Henk does not shy away from using humor, making fun of online dating in Commonly Unique Individual Casualness and writing about a mole who wants to fly to the moon.  An exciting musical interaction, both on stage and with the audience, is guaranteed. Make sure you don't miss this one!
