Jef Neve - That Old Feeling (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

A good bottle of wine, good food, among friends, some candlelight, in short, conviviality and everything that makes life worth living, that's That Old Feeling. With this new album, Jef Neve and his band unleash their own work as well as well-known and lesser-known songs; from Damien Rice to Marvin Gaye and Paul Simon.

This is performed live in a fantastic way, with the incomparable singers "Mo" (Monique Harcum, USA/BE) and Sam Merrick (UK), the warmest voices you've heard in ages. Add to that a strong rhythm section and Jef's musical brother, Teus Nobel on trumpet, and let that gang be driven by the man whose fire and passion bursts from the piano, and you will soon understand what is meant by That Old Feeling.

Besides the tour, there is also the album, for which Jef collaborated with a bevy of incredibly strong vocalists, ranging from Madeleine Peyroux and Trijntje Oosterhuis to Johnny Manuel and the amazing Joss Stone. A musical tour de force.

Jef Neve belongs to the top circle of Belgian musicians. So far, he has showcased his skills on various instrumental albums, from soundtracks to symphonies, and several solo piano albums. With "That Old Feeling," Jef ventures into the vocal jazz genre. Surrounded by a host of guest vocalists, he releases his first album where music and lyrics complement each other.

From jazz standards to lesser-known pop gems, all of them received a new arrangement. For this album, Jef collaborated with singers from various backgrounds, coming from different continents, ranging from internationally renowned jazz singers like Madeleine Peyroux, Trijntje Oosterhuis, and Monique Harcum to hit phenomena like Sam Sparro, Dutch rappers like Typhoon, and emerging talents like Sam Merick and Johnny Manuel.

Jef has succeeded in weaving this album into a cohesive whole and will surprise friends and foes alike with innovative arrangements and broadly accessible songs. This album transcends the jazz genre and will touch a wide audience.
