Henk Kraaijeveld Trio
Experience an unforgettable concert featuring three of the Netherlands’ finest musicians: vocalist Henk Kraaijeveld, pianist Daan Herweg and alto & soprano saxophonist Paul van der Feen.
Henk Kraaijeveld is widely recognized for his warm, expressive voice, imaginative improvisation, and compelling storytelling. A graduate cum laude of the Utrecht Conservatory, he won both the Jury and Audience Awards at the Dutch Jazz Vocalists Competition in 2013. Henk has released the critically acclaimed albums Passengers (2018) and Patches of Sky (2023), featuring original compositions that blend modern jazz with lyrical songwriting.
Daan Herweg is an acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, and producer whose rich harmonic language and adventurous improvisations have made him a sought-after collaborator on the Dutch and international jazz scene.
Joining them is celebrated saxophonist Paul van der Feen, a longtime member of the Metropole Orkest. Renowned for his expressive sound, technical mastery, and creative versatility on both alto and soprano saxophone, he has performed with leading jazz artists around the world and is regarded as one of Europe’s most accomplished contemporary jazz saxophonists.
Enjoy this live performance, where lyrical melodies, spontaneous improvisation, and exceptional musical chemistry come together in a truly inspiring concert.
