Paul van Kessel is a Dutch jazz vocalist.
Extending beyond solo performances; he has collaborated with various groups and theatrical productions such as "New York Round Midnight," "Wicked Jazz Sounds," "Crooners Echo," "The Young Sinatras,” and “The Metropole Orchestra.”
His first solo EP 'High Or Low', (2023) recorded in his studio with a canal view in the heart of Amsterdam (NL), precedes his album 'Don't Explain' (2024), offering a fresh take on jazz, blues and funk classics. Don't Explain features a dynamic "live" trio, featuring Sebastiaan van Bavel on piano, Lean Robbemont on drums, and Paul himself on bass/guitar and vocals.
Paul seamlessly blends his passion for classic jazz with a deep appreciation for blues and soul, embodying a soulful crooner with an affinity towards slow grooves that provide ample room for heartfelt storytelling.
