About this concert
Candy Dulfer: Der talentierte Pianist, Sänger und Komponist Tizaan Alphonso bringt eine sehr persönliche und aufregende Mischung aus Soul, R’n’B, Jazz und Funk auf die Bühne. Mit portugiesischen Wurzeln, geboren in Kalifornien und aufgewachsen in einer musikalischen Familie in Mumbai, ist Tizaan wirklich ein Weltbürger. Wir lernten uns während seines Studiums am Maastrichter Konservatorium kennen. Ich erkannte sofort sein Talent und stellte ihn direkt in meiner wöchentlichen Radioshow auf Sublime vor. Machen Sie sich also bereit für einen groovigen und jazzigen Abend mit dem Tizaan Alphonso Collective!

Tizaan Alphonso Biography
Critically acclaimed pianist/singer/composer, Tizaan Alphonso has a deep and personal connection with music, strongly connected within his family. Having musicians for parents, making music just feels like being home, where-ever he is.
If he could, Tizaan Alphonso would become the Freddie-Mercury-of-Jazz, or claim to be Herbie Hancock's long lost son. He jokes about these things, yet it is deadly serious. Soul and Funk music has been with him like an extra parent, raising him to this day.
After Tizaan Alphonso’s debut album "Feel It" (2020) and his attempt to revive the glory of Soul, RnB and Funk, Tizaan received praise from the press at home, the USA and India.
"Give in to the Natural Jazzy Groove of Tizaan Alphonso's, New Album 'Feel It' "
- Buzz Music (USA)
"Tizaan Alphonso showcases extraordinary experimental Jazz on his debut LP ‘'Feel It’"
- Rolling Stone Magazine (India)
His musical journey will continue in a new EP called ‘Take it Or Leave it’ (Oct 2024). Tizaan has written the songs on the EP about his life, love and hope, struggles, racism and especially his acceptance of who he is. His story about his home, family and friends is one that is complex, but a rather beautiful story to share on stage through his music.
In Maastricht, he found his family in music: The Tizaan Alphonso Collective. A band
of 8 musicians total. They are really close and all understand the story Tizaan wants to tell with his music. Sometimes you see bands on stage where it’s impossible to sit still and only listen. The Collective is one of them. Every single one of the musicians in his Collective is extremely talented,
and with Tizaan, who will steal the show as frontman, you are in for a party.
From performing solo at corporate events, presenting his band at every pop or jazz competition all the way to playing at the North Sea Jazz festival as part of the Fringe Orchestra ft. Bex Burch. He was invited to perform at Jammin' Juan in France, Jazz Circle Viersen, So What's Next Festival (Eindhoven), Poppodium Volt (Sittard), Les Temps Mêlés (Verviers), Limbo Jazz Express (Cultuurhuis Heerlen), MainStage of Park City Live and continues to grow a fanbase with his catchy debut album "Feel It". The L1 television featured him live for their 'Tot overmaat van
ramp' cultural program during the pandemic. In addition to this, his song "Living in The City" was also featured on radio (Sublime-FM) with the legendary Candy Dulfer.
In May 2024, the Collective won the first edition of the Podiumbeesten competition organized by Vista College Heerlen, and got to open for Nile Rogers on the Mainstage of Parkcity Live Festival 2024
"He showcases himself as a very good pianist and when you hear him singing with his sunglasses on, it’s like watching Stevie Wonder! Really knows how to put himself in the center of a band, in a way that we only know from legends!
His music sits so much in the groove that you can't help but dance along yourself. Hearing him perform is a big mix of Freddie Mercury, Herbie Hancock and Al Jarreau”
