Zosja - Around The Sun (2015)

Close

Zosja brings the listener a new swinging sound. In their music they travel trough different styles such as Jazz, Soul, Funk and African. Melody, groove and virtuosity is what they carry along on this travel. They create their arrangements making use of mystic Arabic sounds to bouncing and highly danceable grooves. The whole sounds energetic, sparkling and optimistic.

On the debut album ''Around the Sun'' most compositions are written by drummer Daniel van Dalen. Along with Pieter Althuis on bass and Lucas Meijers on guitar, lead singer Zosja surprises the audience with their cross-over Jazz sound. On this album special appearances are made by Edison-prize-winner Bart Wirtz on saxophone and jazz-violin player Julia Phillippens.

About Zosja: Even though the band is named after their singer Zosja, who is known with the Dutch audience because of her participance on the first 'Idols' edition, the quartet is not found solely around the singer.
Within Zosja every band member is an equal and essential component of the music. The players listen well to each other and their is a mutual joy while performing.
They are all raised in a musical environment and they have musical blood running through their veins. They bundle their years of experience in the music scene together and have been performing a lot in the Dutch Jazz scene.
