Candy Dulfer - (Amsterdam - The Netherlands)

A (September 19) birthday shout out to Candy Dulfer, the Dutch Princess of Funk from Amsterdam in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. She is a alto saxophone player, singer, songwriter, arranger and band leader. It's about the funk for Candy, but she mixes multiple genres from pop, jazz, soul, r&b and dance into her funk.

Since the 1980's Candy Dulfer established a long track record of being a fantastic solo artist with many timeless songs and albums to her credit. Dulfer worked as a collaborator with greats such as Prince, Van Morrison, Dave Stewart and more recently, a female supergroup known as Ladies of Soul whose members include Candy Dulfer, Berget Lewis, Glennis Grace and Edsilia Rombley.

Saxofunk Girl - Candy Dulfer

Candy Dulfer is the international funk and contemporary jazz artist from Amsterdam, Netherlands. She is a very independent minded artist. Sure, she's collaborated with greats like Prince, Dave Stewart, Van Morrison and many many others, but she is not a puppet or a side musician. If it isn't funky or it doesn't have soul, she probably won't be there. Hope you enjoy these handpicked clips below. GC

This track is from her 1993 record, Sax A Go Go (audio/video sync is off - sorry)

Here are some live videos :)

Candy Dulfer - My Funk (live)

Candy Dulfer - Life Of The Party

Candy's father, Hans Dulfer, is a particularly badass edgy tenor sax man with his own unique sound. This next track is a song written by Hans.

Candy Dulfer Funky Stuff - Our House Is Not A Home (Live)

Candy Dulfer & Funky Stuff - Saxuality - Live 1990

And, last but not least, here is a song that is a staple song for the smooth jazz radio circuit in the U.S.A, over 20 years after it was first released in 1989 as the soundtrack for the Dutch movie De Kassière. I hate "smooth jazz" with a passion, but this song is great!

Candy Dulfer - Lily was here (Live)

And finally, a track of her latest 2011 release. It's not my favorite compared to everything she has done, but it isn't bad at all.

Candy Dulfer - Crazy
