Kim Hoorweg, who was 19 at the time of this 2011 recording, is a powerful singer. Born in the Netherlands, she made her recording debut as a leader when she was just 15. Why Don’t You Do Right is her third recording. Teamed with the sextet that calls itself the Houdini’s, Kim Hoorweg toured theaters before recording Why Don’t You Do Right, which is subtitled Remember Peggy Lee. On this CD, Ms. Hoorweg performs a dozen songs associated with Peggy Lee including “He’s A Tramp,” “Fever,” “Lover” “Johnny Guitar,” “Black Coffee” and the title track. She makes no attempt to sound like Peggy Lee, instead displaying a passionate and impressive extroverted style of her own.  While she is a powerhouse, she does not overwhelm the material, instead bringing out new meanings to some of the lyrics.

The Houdini’s (comprised of trumpeter Angelo Verploegen, altoist Rolf Delfos, trombonist Ila Reijngoud, pianist Erwin Hoorweg, bassist Marius Beets and drummer Bram Wijland) contribute supportive ensembles and many concise solos with the pianist writing all of the arrangements. The standards are modernized without losing the essence of the original versions. Why Don’t You Do Right acts as both a fine introduction to the singing of Kim Hoorweg and a way for today’s listeners to get acquainted with some of the songs made famous by Peggy Lee. ~Scott Yanow  http://www.challengerecords.com/news/1373364063

Two women with two completely different backgrounds: Shirma Rouse, brought up with Antilean music, gospel and soul on the island of St. Eustatius. Kim Hoorweg, who listens since her childhood days to heroes like Jaap Valkhoff, Yves Montand and Johnny Cash. Both young but experienced singers who enter into a musical cooperation on CD and in theatres. They both sing world renowned tracks from music celebrities with whom they grew up.

Kim: “Shirma and I are quite different, but we have a special musical bond. Together we go back to our roots. With my heroes and Shirma, who introduces me to Antillean music, Aretha Franklin and Bob Marley.” Kim Hoorweg has been working on her musical career since she was 14 years and is considered to be the Dutch Jazz vocal-talent.

Shirma: “I come from a family that listened a lot to gospel, soul and reggae music. It was very exciting to unite our ‘roots’ and discover how well they musically fit together, even though we look totally different and have quite different cultural backgrounds.” Shirma Rouse is an experienced vocalist, who worked together as a background singer with a.o. Anouk, Candy Dulfer, Trijntje Oosterhuis and Wouter Hamel.

All tracks on the CD ‘Dedicated To You’ are a re-make of the originals, resulting in a fresh sound, also because of the special arrangement by Erwin Hoorweg for percussion (Martin Verdonk), keys (Erwin Hoorweg) and bass (Boudewijn Lucas).

Dedicated To You
