Tristan is reminiscent of bands like Tower of Power, Snarky Puppy, Incognito and The Brand New Heavies. The 'high-energy grooves' and the quality of their arrangements and compositions make Tristan a truly unique band.
Tristan's music can best be described as feel-good vintage acid jazz music with the energy, atmosphere and sound of today, performed by some of the best pop/jazz musicians from Europe. Funky guitars, Fender Rhodes, synth sounds and a rhythm section that has been playing together for a long time. All this gives singer Jaycilee the solid foundation to let her beautiful warm soul-full voice shine. The music takes you straight back to that crazy seventies sound. Tristan's albums reached No. 1 in the UK Soulcharts, followed by many live and radio shows, both at home and abroad. The new album "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?" is already the sixth chapter in Tristan's prolific musical life. Fresh new compositions; personal, soulful and energetic with the unique Tristan sound. The audience, the positive reactions and the extensive tours of the past years were the inspiration for the positive vibe on this album.
"With Tristan, jazz, fusion and soul merge effortlessly. A band that can compete internationally with big names from these genres. It is high time that a larger audience is introduced to this musical gem, which, for once, doesn't come from England or the US but 'just' from the Netherlands." - Arie Verstegen, program director Boerderij.
