“As an American living in the Netherlands, authenticity and musicality are paramount for me when considering new arrangements of American works by Dutch ensembles. Calefax delivers.“
Our wonderful Marketing & PR Manager – Allie Summers – recommends An American Rhapsody, by Calefax.
“Some albums just make you feel good, and Calefax’s ‘An American Rhapsody’ hits all the right notes for me. This collection of works by George Gershwin, Billie Holiday, Florence Price, Duke Ellington and others is essentially a love letter to the country I was born and raised in.
In my opinion, it takes a lot of “gusto” for a Dutch reed quintet to take on these renowned American composers and really sell it, but Calefax is uniquely equipped to do just that: having toured extensively in the United States for the past decade, they’re a bonafide American-approved ensemble that captures the playfulness, the soul, and the essence of each arrangement they tackle on this album.
As an American living in the Netherlands, authenticity and musicality are paramount for me when considering new arrangements of American works by Dutch ensembles. Calefax delivers.”
