Jazz
Paulien van Schaik, Hein Van de Geyn, Bert Joris Immediately, as you listen to the first few bars of Gershwin's Embraceable You, you know that this album is very special. A short, unpretentious yet exquisite, intro by the Belgian trumpeter Bert Joris is followed by the sonorous bass sound of Hein Van de Geyn and the clear voice of Paulien van Schaik. The trio is complete.It is the introduction to an album full of jewels. And those jewels are a repertoire of classic Standards such as Moonlight in Vermont, The Man I Love, Imagination and many other beautiful Songs. Here we hear chamber music of the highest caliber and in a pure jazz idiom.
Did Hein and Paulien touch on "the naked truth" with their first CD "Tenderly", as Hein said himself; with Bert Joris a perfect harmonious unity emerges, enhanced by the beautiful melodic lines that Paulien sings against the trumpet melodies. The great quality of Paulien is her deep respect for the way the melodies have been written by their composers. Lyrics and music as equals, interpreted by three passionate musicians.
Paulien Van Schaik takes a big risk for a young singer, not only tackling some of the most popular standards from the Great American Songbook, but doing so backed solely by bassist Hein Van De Geyn and trumpeter Bert Joris. Fortunately, her gamble pays off. The leader's clear voice and precise enunciation benefit from the sparse accompaniment, starting off with a delicious take of "Embraceable You." Van De Geyn and Joris set up the easy-going, slightly funky take of "Them There Eyes," while she restores the frequently omitted verse to "The Man I Love," singing it a cappella, before Joris adds long droning notes beneath her as she enters the body of the song. She's equally capable in a brisk setting, such as the breezy arrangement of "Just in Time." The bassist opens "Moonlight in Vermont" with a virtuoso solo, then takes a back seat as Joris' fragile, Chet Baker-like trumpet provides the primary decoration to Van Schaik's sentimental (yet never sappy) take of the song. The finale is a brash but fun interpretation of "Please Don't Do It in Here," a blues by Billie Holiday. This impressive Dutch jazz vocalist deserves to be heard by jazz fans worldwide. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Hein Van de Geyn
Hein Van de Geyn (1956) studied classical violin for 15 years, playing pop and blues on guitar, and changed to bass-guitar in. his late teens. Soon Hein played in dixieland-bands, but with his self formed bebop group he got awarded "best soloist" on the 1977 Laren Jazz festival. This made him Pick Up the double bass, and start a career as jazz musician. In 1980 Hein moved to the USA, played and recorded with many great musicians and in 1983 returned to Europe to become one of the most sought after bass players. In 1990 Hein made the first album under his own name, a duo with Lee Konitz. Hein toured and recorded with Philip Catherine, Chet Baker and many years with Dee Dee Bridgewater until he decided in 1996 to pursue his own career as a leader and a bass-teacher. On some 80 records his name can be found as composer, arranger or solo bass player. In 1994 he created his group Baseline with John Abercrombie and Joe LaBarbara and co-founded with Anne de Jong and Joost Leijen the Jazz label CHALLENGE JAZZ , for which he is still producing a growing number of successful recordings. He received the Bird Award and the prestigious Prins Bernhard Fonds Music Prize (for the stimulation of young musicians and his merit for European Jazz in general) and was elected as "Best European Acoustic Bass Player". |
