The Cécile Verny Quartet is a German-French jazz band, named after their lead singer Cécile Verny. Active since 1992, they have been distinguished with several awards, including the Grand prix du Jury of the French festival Jazz à Juan and the German Music Critics Award.

History

The band's lead singer and founder is the vocalist and songwriter Cécile Verny, who was born in the Ivory Coast and grew up in France.[1] She is accompanied by Bernd Heitzler on bass, Andreas Erchinger on keyboards and Torsten Krill, later followed by Lars Binder, on drums.[2] Since their beginnings in 1989, the band has been based in Freiburg im Breisgau.[3]

Apart from mainstream jazz, other important sources for their music are French chanson, scat singing, rock, blues and African music. On their album European Songbook, Verny and her sidemen played arrangements by Michael Gibbs and Carinne Bonnefoy.[4]

Among other awards, the Cécile Verny Qartet has been distinguished by the Grand prix du Jury of the French festival Jazz à Juan[5] and nominated as one of the best jazz albums of 2006 by the German Music Critics Award.[6]

In addition to Germany and France, the quartet has received attention in international jazz circles, including a review in DownBeat magazine.[7] Touring for the German cultural centres Goethe-Institut, the quartet was also invited for concerts in Morocco, Kenya, South Africa and Sudan.[8]
