Enrique Tarde

about

A SUPERB ARTIST If you seek a romantic and sensual voice, your search has ended. Henk de Laat is that voice. Who's Henk de Laat? He is simply one of the most dazzling young vocalist in European jazz scene. And one of the best bassists, too. Mr. DeLaat is a jazz & bossa nova artist with a singular style, as well as the technical equipment to suport it, a level of musical imagination rarely meet in the work of a single artist. Vocalist with a voice reminiscent of Chet Baker,but with a indisputable sense of musical personality, DeLaat combines the lyrical style of a Nat King Cole with a modern contemporary feel. Some vocalists merely sing the lyrics of a song. Not Henk de Laat. He delivers a song with heartfelt emotion. When he sings the heart of listener seems to beat a a little faster. He captures all the nuances of the songs. He knows how to interprete great lyrics. And the bassist Henk de Laat? What can I say? First of all, he is a superb bass player, with an innate sense of timing, wit and energy. I describe his fresh sound as exciting. He plays in the bossa nova style (and others Brazilian styles) with influences of jazz. De Laat loves Brazilian music. João Bosco and Ivan Lins are his favorite Brazilian composers. Henk's debut CD, "But Beautiful",was released in 1996. This album the lover of good music can leave in the player and
