Erik Verwey Trio & Hermine Deurloo
Album Presentation ‘About a Home’ - Lyrical compositions with the voice of the harmonica
About a Home is a musical story about being at home, leaving and everything that entails. Inspired by this theme, Erik has written music for Hermine's unique sound.
Harmonica player Hermine Deurloo and pianist Erik Verwey are both musical storytellers who move on the boundaries between jazz, pop and classical. After Hermine heard Erik's debut album last year, she called him for a recording session which was a great succes. Her melodic playing style appears to fit perfectly with Erik's lyrical pieces.
The support of drummer Daniël van Dalen (known from 'Fuse') and bassist Hendrik Müller of the Erik Verwey Trio has led to this new album, recorded in January 2023 in Amsterdam.
About a Home is a musical story about being at home, leaving and everything that entails. Inspired by this theme, Erik has written music for Hermine's unique sound. The musical portraits together form a story and are characterized as highly melodic, spatial, accessible and dynamic.
The sound of the harmonica evokes associations with film music and cinematic improvisations are a leading part of the music.
