Claire Parsons & Eran har even Duo
“Une voix claire, superbement posée. De son côté Eran Har Even joue tout en finesse et retenue.”
The ‘Claire Parsons & Eran Har Even‘ Duo is a young international project between the British/Luxembourgish jazz singer Claire Parsons and the Israeli guitarist Eran Har Even. The project is a creative connection with the purpose of blending contrasting colours into original compositions. Each one of the musicians brings their unique vision and style to the music and thus create a very intimate and calm atmosphere with the intention of creating harmony and balance within the existing environment. They released their first EP «OnOff» in the end of 2019.
Eran Har Even is an Edison nominated Israeli guitarist, composer and music teacher currently residing in Amsterdam. Since his arrival in the Netherlands in 2006, Eran has established himself as a leading figure in the Dutch Jazz scene – recording and performing with some of the finest Jazz musicians on the local and international circuits.

“‘the mood was intimate. Parsons’ voice was warm and relaxed; the guitar’s folk-inflected arpeggios were given subtle electronic treatment’
’strummed chords; taut rhymes; a rock-edged guitar solo, and Joni-esque vocals’
’looped echoey vocal lines folded beautifully into each other like their own choir’”
