Edison winner and ‘the adventurer among the Dutch jazz singers’ Ineke Vandoorn meets the keyboard virtuoso of European jazz Jasper van ’t Hof.

For years, Ineke has had the desire to play in a duo with Jasper van ‘t Hof (pi /synth). His unbridled enthusiasm, his virtuosity and unique musical personality makes it a challenge for both of them to give shape to the classic ‘singer with pianist’ line-up. A musical encounter that provides something for everyone: players and audience enjoy quiet and intimate moments to grand and expressive outbursts.

'Dancing On Water' has been released in the spring of 2024.

• Rarely do you come across a release that is so incredibly captivating from start to finish that, as a listener, you are completely absorbed in the moment. It breathes, it lives, it effervesces, it moves.... and then there is the silence of the finale. (Draaiomjeoren.nl - Koen Scherer, 24.2.24)

• The opener “Quiet,” nota bene composed by Paul Simon, is overwhelming. Her vibrant voice on the album's six tracks ranges from incantatory, religious, classical to improv. Emotions fly from lyric to wordless. A surprisingly beautiful album. (Jazzenzo - Erno Elsinga, 19.2.24)

(Heaven - Pieter Wijnstekers, 24.2.24
