The other collaboration was with the late, great, Prince. Candy played on and appeared in his Partyman video in 1989 he which he says, “When I want sax, I call Candy”!

Candy went on to be part of Prince’s NPG band for his 2004 Musicology tour and album. She has appeared with many other big names since from Pink Floyd to Beyoncé.

I n1990, she released her first album under her own name and Saxuality earned a Grammy nomination, (it includes Lily was here). She’s now released a dozen solo albums and also collaborated with her father on a duet album in 2001.

Playing a wide range of funk and soul with her band, she is largely self-taught, but her style is influenced by David Sanborn, arguably the originator of that style of saxophone playing. Although often put into the Smooth Jazz charts in the US, she doesn’t really feel at home there with her high energy style – but is grateful that they still appear to like her.

Her saxophone setup has been a Selmer MK VI alto with Lebayle jazz 8 mouthpieces. Rico selec

Dutch saxophonist CANDY DULFER is all set to resume what she does best: hitting the road with her sensational band to bring her unique ‘funky stuff’ to audiences around the world. She can’t wait to perform live again and introduce her loyal fans to the brand-new songs she’s been working on, and to bring the healing power of music to those in need after the many challenges of 2020 and 2021.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 30 years since Candy Dulfer rose to fame with her high-profile collaborations with Dave Stewart (the worldwide number 1 smash “Lily was here”) and of course the legendary Prince, whose tongue-in-cheek recommendation (“When I want sax, I call Candy”) in the “Partyman” video made the world sit up and notice the young, glamorous and talented sax player at his side. Their collaboration continued over the years with many studio sessions, TV show appearances, award show performances (including the Grammy Awards), and concert tours around the globe, including Candy joining Prince’s NPG band as a permanent member for his record-shattering ‘Musicology’ tour &

Candy Dulfer

Candy Dulfer has been on the fast track since she first picked up the saxophone in 1975 at the tender age of six. Thirty years later, the ride has yet to slow down.

Born in Holland in 1969, Dulfer was raised in a musical family. Her father, Hans Dulfer, was a well-known Dutch saxophonist who founded the Bimhaus, the famous jazz club that was originally subsidized by the government as a means to promote the arts. Ironically, Hans was ousted from the original organization for embracing styles outside the strict confines of traditional jazz. Seeing her father ostracized from the very same jazz community that he’d helped establish had a profound effect on young Candy.

“Back then, even as a young girl, I felt betrayed by the Dutch jazz scene,” she recalls. “I decided that I was going to do things my own way. I decided I would play R&B, pop, and whatever else moved me, and then decide later on where all the jazz that I had heard as a child would fit into what I was doing. I really never played straightahead gigs. I thought it was very purist and confining.”
