Yvette Marie Stevens from Chicago, also known as Chaka Khan, makes her solo debut Chaka at the end of the seventies, an album that features the hit song I'm Every Woman. She manifests herself more as a hardcore singer than she did before, when she worked with the formation Rufus. The song What Cha Gonna Do For Me caused her real big breakthrough and the song makes it all the way to the American top ten. By then it is already clear that many styles are applicable to La Khan. It's striking that her records introduce a mix of many styles: ballads, r&b, bebop, disco and even country. And even jazz too, because with the help of coryphées like Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock and Lenny White, the singer surprises everyone in 1982 by making Echoes Of An Era, an album with merely jazz standards. And again in 2004 she presents a similar project. Classikhan, recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, is an album full of classic songs. Once again she proves to be an all-round vocalist. During her performance at North Sea Jazz she will be accompanied by the Metropole Orkest, a true phenomena in jazz for more than half a century. The orchestra is acclaimed for its large-scale television productions here and abroad and its collaboration with big stars.
