With her unmistakable timbre, Fay Claassen is one of the great female voices of European jazz. It seems the most natural thing, when Fay brings English and Dutch pop songs, original compositions or standards of the Great American Songbook with her touching voice to new life.
Fay Claassen’s ninth solo album Luck Child was awarded with the Edison Award in 2018, which is the Dutch equivalent of a Grammy. Previously Fay received the prestigious German "Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik" and the Chet Baker Award for her golden album Two Portraits of Chet Baker. These are a few examples of the many prizes that Fay has received so far in her impressive career.
The list of jazz legends with whom Fay Claassen has collaborated since the 1990s reads like the 'Who's Who' of jazz: the legendary Toots Thielemans, the Grammy winning WDR Big Band, the American Fusion Jazz Star Mike Stern, Cuban Latin Jazz Star Paquito D'Rivera, the Metropole Orkest and the most important arrangers of the orchestral Jazz: Bob Brookmeyer, Vince Mendoza and Michael Abene.
From the Edison Jury Report 2018: ‘It is hard not to lose yourself in many superlatives when you hear Fay Claassen sing. She has the special gift not only to touch the listener, but rather to meet him directly in the heart.’
