In the land of European jazz vocalists, Henk Kraaijeveld occupies a unique place somewhere between the known and the unknown. He is one of those rare male vocalists that seek musical adventure, bringing together compelling music with poetic lyrics and surprising improvisations. The award-winning singer disarms his audience with his warm voice and natural playfulness on stage. For Henk, storytelling in music is essential because of its ability to connect people with themselves and the world around them. Among his influences are Sufi poet Rumi, Sting, Pat Metheny & Bobby McFerrin. The singer scored highly with his debutalbum Passengers (2018) and his 2nd album Patches of Sky (2023).
Support for 2025 Edmonton International Jazz Festival is provided by presenting sponsor TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment.
