Hotly-tipped vocalist and composer Henk Kraaijeveld has already won plaudits from jazz critics (and audiences) for his warm voice and disarming stage presence. With ‘Patches of Sky’ he brings together compelling music with poetic lyrics, storytelling and surprising improvisations. Playful and light-footed music alternates with intense vivacious grooves and harmonies which bring to mind self-proclaimed influences like Sting, Bobby McFerrin and Esperanza Spalding. It’s music for dreamers, wanderers and realists that enjoy mischievous sparks of light, as patches of sky that connect us.
