Yvonne
Walter was born in After singing jazz
standards for more than two decades as Yvonne
de Kok, accompanied by among others, the Mary Hehuat trio, she changed her artist name into Yvonne Walter and decided to record
her own compositions. On stage she merges jazz standards with her own songs
and with the work of contemporary composers like Ivan Lins, Johnny Mandel, Blossom Dearie, Jack van Poll, Hein Van
de Geyn and Bert Joris Yvonne
Walter likes to work with
different accompanists to keep the real jazz spirit high. Although she will
not avoid arrangements, which are necessary for a larger band, Yvonne prefers the challenge of a
fresh rendition in duo, trio or quartet in which her only demands are tempo,
rhythm and key In a broad range of
repertoire Yvonne Walter always
seeks for the right atmosphere to touch the soul of the song with deep
respect for the composer and the lyricist. With this ability she reaches for
true synergy with musicians and audience, where words set to music find love. |

Yvonne Walter / Harry Happel
- Songs for Christmas Een mooie cd voor de tijd van het jaar is
Songs for Christmas,
duetten van vocaliste Yvonne
Walter en pianist Harry Happel. De zangeres die haar woonark in Weesp verruilde voor een appartement in Antwerpen,
interpreteert klassieke kerstliedjes als Holy Night en Let it Snow, combineert die met passende jazzstandards
als A Child is Born en My Favorite Things,
en voegt daar haar eigen indrukwekkende compositie The X-mas
Blues aan toe. In totaal elf songs die ook als het geen kerst is zeer de
moeite waard zijn. Haarkrachtige stem, tegelijk teder en doorleefd,
en de begeleiding van Harry Happel
sluiten naadloos op elkaar aan. Beiden zijn op zoek naar de muziek in de
liedjes, meer dan naar de symboliek ervan. Het inpassen van de eigen
compositie The X-mas Blues is wat dat betreft niet
alleen een persoonlijke toevoeging aan het repertoire, maar ook een
referentiekader dat verheldert waarom hun beider versie van de klassieker
White Christmas de mooiste is die ik ooit hoorde. TO: TOP OF DISCOGRAPHY
