The Hermanherman duo consists of jazz pop singer-composer Herman van Doorn and guitarist Herman Onnen. Both found each other in their love for French culture and in particular the atmospheric music of singer Michel Fugain, who also scored hits in the Netherlands in the 1970s such as Une Belle Histoire, Fais Comme l'Oiseau and Le Printemps. On the album Fugain, the duo 'reiterates' the typical French
… chansons to more modern times and gives it a dreamy lounge atmosphere. It is relaxed 'chilling' to this groovy jazz-infused music full of infectious nostalgic melodies. The stylish renditions of the two Hermannen are subtly supplemented with varied percussion, accordion, double bass, Rhodes, strings and sampling. These arrangements make Fugain very suitable to play during romantic dinners and balmy summer evenings. (SvdP)more
