艺人介绍
小简介
Candy Dulfer是当代爵士乐坛不可多得的绝代才女，首次在公众面前露面是在摇滚鬼才Prince的音乐录影带《Partyman》之中。杜弗尔不仅拥有漂亮的金发和俏丽的面庞，她吹奏中音萨克斯的技巧也堪称一流。
杜弗尔从小便受到吹奏高音萨克斯的父亲的熏陶，桑尼·罗林斯、寇曼·霍金斯、德克斯特·戈登都是她心中的偶像。由于她的父亲是荷兰一位很有名的乐手，杜弗尔很顺利的被介绍进入爵士乐界。她从12岁起便跟着Rosa King这位从美国流亡到荷兰的乐手的乐队演出。15岁组建自己的Funky Stuff乐队。由于个性突出，这支乐队还被著名摇滚歌手Madonna邀请参加她的欧洲巡演。在因与Prince的合作而名闻天下后，杜弗尔得到音乐制作人DaveStewart的协助，录制了一些大受好评的乐曲。
杜弗尔的首张个人专辑在1991年推出，她的略带放克风格的萨克斯一经面世便带起了流行旋风，成为当代爵士一种重要的构成因素。她随后推出的作品承接吸收了越来越多的音乐元素，显示了更为丰沛活跃的创造力。

Alto saxophonist Candy Dulfer was brought into the limelight by Prince, who introduced her to the world via his video for Partyman. Raised in a family heavily involved in the Dutch jazz scene, Dulfer is the daughter of Hans Dulfer, a respected jazz tenor saxophonist. Thanks to him, she listened to and studied the recordings of Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, and Dexter Gordon. He also introduced her to the stage early in life. When she was 12, she began playing in a band with Rosa King, an American expatriate who lived in Holland. Her career began by playing with brass bands but soon she was fronting her own band, Funky Stuff, who were invited to backup Madonna for part of her European tour. She began leading the band at age 15. Her appearances with Prince led to session work with Eurythmics guitarist/producer Dave Stewart, who gave Dulfer a credit on Lily Was Here, which reached number six in the U.K. and number one on the Dutch radio charts in 1990. Recording sessions for her debut album were followed by more guest star dates with Van Morrison, Aretha Franklin, and Pink Floyd.
Her debut, Saxuality, released later in 1990 for RCA Records, was very successful in Europe and the U.S. While it was by no means a straight-ahead jazz album, her funky alto sax stylings caught on with fans of contemporary jazz at several recently launched smooth jazz radio stations around the U.S. Saxuality was nominated for a Grammy and certified gold for sales in excess of a half-million units worldwide. Her 1991 album Sax-a-Go-Go includes Sunday Afternoon, a song by Prince, and also teams her up with some of her musical mentors, the JBs and the Tower of Power horns. Her other influences include Sonny Rollins and David Sanborn, and while Dulfer hasnt carved the niche for herself that Sanborn has in the jazz world, she does have a great career ahead of her as she continues to synthesize classic R&B, blues, pop, and jazz in her own unique, creative ways. In 1999, she released What Does It Take with Girls Night Out and Right In My Soul following in 2001 and 2003 respectively.
