PRAISE POEMS 10 - A journey into deep, soulful jazz & funk from the 1970sby Various Artists
Awardwinning Dutch Jazz vocalist occupies a unique place somewhere between the familiar and the unknown. The singer and composer disarms audiences with his warm voice and playfulness. Henk prefers mystery over mastery, which allows him the freedom to let ideas guide him into both dark and bright corners. His adventurous songs bring together his love of poetry and improvisation.
