Tristan

Dutch jazz funksters Tristan return to the Jazz Mix club with a new vocalist Irma Derby and a brand-new album Frou-Frou which is the band's 8th full studio album.
Frou-Frou in our case symbolizes fanciness in our music, with the fine combination of creativity and dedication. After all, we feel more comfortable and stronger as a band than ever. We have tried our best to, once again, put in the extra effort and foremost joy of writing and recording new material. The TRISTAN ‘core’ of the band (drummer Sebastiaan Cornelissen / bassist Frans Vollink and keyboardist Coen Molenaar) has always been keen on inviting different singers throughout the years. That won’t be any different on the new upcoming album Frou-Frou. This time we teamed up with Irma Derby, who has, besides an amazing stage presence, been vocally compared to Randy Crawford, Chaka Kahn and Donna Summer. Also guitar-hero Glenn Black is added to the new Tristan line-up. A good example of our link to the soul scene in the UK was the collaboration of keyboarder Coen Molenaar, with Incognito last year. He co-wrote and played on two songs of their latest record “Into You”. With 12 new tracks in our vocabulary, we got a fresh start on the road, doing what we love dearly: Spreading positive energy through our music, while taking our audience for a ride they won't soon forget. The compositions are fun to play live, with plenty of space to evolve as we go. This has been a crucial part of our style, in order to make each and every concert excitingly unique. Together we've been to so many parts of the world already. Not only can't we wait to come back; We are eager to expand that incredible adventure.
