Lynn Cassiers: The Bird, The Fish and The Ball
Revolution to one, but evolution to another. Jazz vocalists who do not sing the standard repertoire remain a thorny issue. Lynn Cassiers is widening the discussion even further with no less than three new CDs, including her solo debut The Bird, The Fish and The Ball.
CD | Lynn Cassiers ●●
The Bird, The Fish And The Ball electro-folk
Lynn Cassiers began her studies in the most classical way. At a certain point, she got an itch and started adding electro effects to her voice after seeing Jozef Dumoulin perform. Since then, she has become a member of his Lidlboj, sung at Octurn, and performs with the improvisation quartet led by Italian saxophonist Riccardo Luppi. In other words, there are jazz connections by the droves, but they recede almost completely into the background on her solo debut. Eleven short stories doused in an ethereal atmosphere reminiscent of the production by the French Prikosnovénie label and as imaginative as Pascal Comelade’s work. “I like songs and stories. This is my way of giving all the sounds I developed as a side-woman a place in my own world. I wouldn’t want to call it jazz.” Perhaps electro-folk, for example. Distributed by the RAT label of sound wizard Teun Verbruggen. You can hear more Lynn Cassiers on albums by Manolo Cabras & Basic Borg and Tape Cuts Tape.
