This song makes me really happy!
She was winner of the Erasmus Jazzprice in 2012 (and public favourite), she is launching her second album ‘Ripples’ in collaboration with ‘Zennes’ records. Which I shot the cover of. Her music is known by her storytelling compositions. ‘Ripples’ takes you to her hometown in Zeeland (South-Holland) and makes a field trip to new York.
Stephanie Francke Quartet consists of: Stephanie Francke on saxophone, Koen Schalkwijk on piano, Guus Bakker on bass and Niek de Bruijn on drums.
