Marly Marques was born in Luxembourg into a Portuguese family. She discovered her passion for music at a young age, endowed with her grandfather’s good ear for music, lulled by her mother’s Fado and deeply moved by her father’s closeness with the music and culture of Angola.
To put it in a nutshell, Marly Marques Quintet is said to be « the wedding between a dazzling and warm voice, belonging to a ravishingly spontaneous and moving singer, and the delightful jazz tempo of four talented musicians, resulting in a brilliant sound explosion ».
The band does not hesitate to venture on the world music field, but without denying its jazzy roots. The musicians know how to entangle jazz standards with their own compositions, sometimes even tackling a few pop standards (for instance « Seven Nation Army » by the White Stripes). To finish, the Marly Marques Quintet succeeds in distinguishing itself thanks to the Portuguese, Spanish and English authentic lyrics on original compostions, that bring a very smart touch to the performances of the band.
Personnel:
Marly Marques (vocals)
Jitz Jeitz (saxophone, clarinet)
Claude Shaus (piano, keys)
Laurent Peckels (electric bass, double bass)
Paul Fox (drums)
