Cécile Verny Quartet – „keep some secrets within“

Timeless Jazz from Worldmusic to Pop

For more than twenty years, the voice of Cécile Verny has been one of the most important in European jazz. Her love for the songs of her West African homeland, gospel, chansons and the American jazz standards, have all united in a most distinctive way. From the beginning, however, the key to her successful career has been her award-winning quartet.

Their new program, “Keep Some Secrets Within,” is the formidable outcome of the search by Verny, bassist Bernd Heitzler, pianist Andreas Erchinger, and percussionist Lars Binder for a completely personal sound and new rhythmic quality. All the songs, whether sung in English or French, as an earthy shuffle, ballade, chanson, or as a pulsating up-tempo number, capitalize on Verny’s greatest strength: the telling of a story that immediately reaches the heart of the listener after only a few notes.
