A Special Spring Edition Smooth Cruise!
On May 13th the beautiful, charismatic and talented Candy Dulfer will performing in a special Spring edition of our summer Smooth Cruise series.
Ever since her GRAMMY nominated 1990 debut Saxuality, Dulfer has been gracing audiences with her unique blend of R&B, pop, jazz and funk.
In 2009 Candy released Funked Up and Chilled Out. Here’s what Howard Dukes of SoulTracks.com had to say about it:
“What listeners hear on records such as Funked Up is an artist who fuses elements of jazz, R&B and hip-hop into her brand of funk. That jazz mainly comes through in Dulfer’s improvisations that listeners hear in a song such as “My Funk.” The fact is Dulfer has always been a very creative improviser. She can still create within the limits of genres that don’t allow artists to take the flights of fancy that are so commonplace in jazz. That comes across in “My Funk” as Dulfer engages in a musical conversation with rapper Pete Philly. She slows the tempo 180 degrees on the R&B influenced “Still I Love You.” Dulfer’s sax playing falls in nicely with rhythm section. However, when its time for the saxophonist to step outside the box, her solo is subtle, nuanced yet memorable."
The weather is too nice to wait for the June 29th kick off of the 2011 Smooth Cruises, so come out can dance to the wonderful sounds of Candy Dulfer on May 13th.
