Release Notes:

Soesja Citroen,  vocalist, Netherlands
Soesja Citroen took up her singing career in 1979.
With her band she soon was become a very well known
appearance in Dutch jazzclubs and theaters and also
at the North Sea Jazz Festival, at which she
performed in 1981 for the first time. Next to that
she did radioshows with the Metropole Orchestra and
won a second prize at the Knokke Songfestival.
She recorded a lot of albus. In 1980 To Build
featuring Willem Breuker, 1981 Good enough for Jazz
with Nico Bunink and 1982 Key Largo with Cees
Slinger and Buck Hill. In 1983 Soesja Citroen sings
Thelonious Monk came out, an album on which she
firmly established herself as a lyricist. And in
1985 Angel Eyes with the Metropole Orchestra
conducted by Rogier van Otterloo. She was to make
more albums with that famous orchestra, Soesja
sings Fred Astaire (1987) along with Soesja in Silk
(1989), a beautiful ballad-cd conducted by Robert
Farnon. In between she also produced the band-album
Shall we Dance.
In 1986 playing at the Yatra Jazz Festival in New
Delhi and Bombay was one of the special highlights
in Soesja's career. The other one was her concert
in 1993 in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.
On Soesja Citroen Band Live (1991) Soesja proves
she's not only a great singer of ballads but also a
wild woman on stage 'when the spirit moves her'.
In 1994 Here and Now came out and Soesja had a
tv-show in Ljubljana.
In 1996 Soesja performed successful again at the
North Sea Jazz Festival and made her cd Songs for
Lovers and Losers with Louis van Dijk and Hein Van
de Geyn. The German jazzmagazine JazzPodium called
Soesja an Europian Top Jazzsinger and the American
jazzmagazine Jazz Times called her absolutely
sensational.
In 1997 Yesterdays was released, a compilation of
her three albums with the Metropole Orchestra.
And finally in 1998 Soesja recorded as
singer/songwriter a new cd Song for Ma; an
autobiographical cd with all songs of her own and
special guest Michael Moore on clarinet. This cd
and the subsequent theater-tour was highly
acclaimed in the press.
The Canadian jazzmagazine CADENCE called in 1999
the cd superb and wrote that Citroen deserves
recognition as a composer and Jazz Times wrote
'Dutch vocalist and songwriter Citroen shows
herself a formidable composer'.
Gouda, 2001.
