Dear friends!

I´m happy to announce the release of my new CD, RED, HOT & BLUE, the music of Cole Porter.
It´s been half a year of great fun working until this moment, I´m so happy with the results. And reviews are just starting to come in!

"Fay Claassen is the exciting new voice on the international jazz scene." (Bill Milkowski, "Jazz Times", USA) read more

“ Fay Claassen is to singing what Audrey Hepburn was to the movies: elegant and graceful (“Cadence“, USA)

"Dutch Jazz Diva Fay Claassen is a truly phenomenal singer!" (Paquito D'Rivera)

"Fay's sense of time, pitch and lyric interpretation made me appreciate even more what a wonderful artist she is." (Michael Abene, chief conducter WDR Big Band)

Let me introduce my new trio:
Olaf Polziehn (piano)
Ingmar Heller (bass)
Hans Dekker (drums )

I’ve had so much fun working with this fantastic trio, and I’m grateful for their inspiration and support—both in the studio and onstage.

Having Michael Abene, one of the world’s greatest arrangers, involved in the creation of this project was a dream come true for me.
Michael’s endless flow of ideas had an enormous impact on my way of singing.
