Dulfer News

Whither the soul of smooth jazz? A fair question and probably an unanswerable one, given the terms of a genre so omnivorous, so famously squishy.

I recently had a chance to see Dutch saxophone player Candy Dulfer with Dave Koz on his Christmas Tour appearance in Atlanta. I was very impressed, so I was happy to get the chance to hear her new CD Crazy.

Alto saxophonist Candy Dulfer was brought into the limelight by Prince, who introduced her to the world via his video for "Partyman." Raised in a family heavily involved in the Dutch jazz scene, Dulfer is the daughter of Hans Dulfer, a respected jazz tenor saxophonist.

Recently I reviewed Dave Koz 's Ultimate Christmas and really fell in love with it, so I jumped at the chance to attend the Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour at Atlanta's Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center .
