Candy Dulfer

Candy Dulfer is one of the sweetest saxophonists you may ever hear. Not just because of her name, but because she delivers big time. Candy's career is an extensive one with many solid performances of hers with many famous entities in music. I thought initially I had a blog post I worked on previously on her, but it is only now I realize I am making an entirely new post. So are you ready for another blog post of mine here on "John's Blog Space?" This post is about Candy Dulfer. Or at least, my look at Candy Dulfer. Welcome to "John's Blog Space!" This post is about Candy Dulfer.

Time to start another blog post on here. Meet Candy Dulfer:


^ from: (YouTube) - Candy Dulfer is one candy-sweet saxophonist for reasons much more than just her name.

Candy Dulfer is a (born: September 19, 1969)-year old Dutch saxophonist. Hailing from Amsterdam, Netherlands; Candy has provided some sweet and funky saxophone music. She has also had many different concert performances worldwide starting from her first musical action starting in 1987. A lot of her music career was in various works with the likes of Prince and Dave Stewart among others. Candy has had a number of singles and albums such as "Saxuality," "Candy Store," "Funked Up," and "Together." Candy Dulfer can rock out jazz style solo, but she can also drop some rhymes. Candy is also among a solid clique of talent known as the Ladies of Soul (more on the Ladies of Soul later in this post).

I first heard of Candy Dulfer some time in the late 2000s or early 2010s. She was one of few female saxophonists I could recall. I became attracted to her style of play that I grew to appreciate her talent. Candy Dulfer even did perhaps the best saxophone rendition of one of my personal favorite songs from one of my personal favorite groups- "For the Love of You" by the Isley Brothers. So her appeal is definitely there. Definitely one of the "worth the price of admission" types.

Now about those Ladies of Soul. Well, Candy Dulfer is one of a few ladies on this Ladies of Soul crew. She is joined alongside Glennis Grace, Berget Lewis, Edsilia Rombley. This clique features Candy dropping the lovely saxophone melodies accompanied by the soulfully sweet singing of the Ladies of Soul. Candy-sweet Candy Dulfer saxophone play. Sweet soulful voices from the Ladies of Soul. Does it get any sweeter than this? ;)
