me

well... i'm a piano player who likes a lot of music, but plays mainly jazz and jazz-related music. besides that i do some teaching, which is sometimes fun and sometimes a drag. and above all, i do my best to be a loving 'husband' to my lovely 'wife' and an incredible dad for my incredible baby daughter. her name is mpho, and i would actually like to tell you all more about her than about myself... but i won't :-)

if you would be interested in the details about me, like historical facts and all - visit the 'stuff'-section of this website. you'll find something called a 'bio' under 'documents'.

peace to y'all.

tutu puoane

tutu's a major vocal talent, born in pretoria (south africa) and living in europe since 2002. she's truly unique, combining early influences by jazz greats like sarah vaughan, ella fitzgerald, dianne reeves, ... with a lot of soul and with her native african roots. proof of that exciting mix can be found on her latest album 'quiet now'. look out for it in your favorite record store!

my latest project and immediately the most ambitious one : i'm hoping this band can let my music grow into something really special. very happy with the first signs of evolution and looking forward to the future. think this might be the line-up of my first album :-) i just need to write some more music, which is about to happen real soon... if you're organising jazz concerts : book this band now we're still affordable. just kidding... but do book us.
