Jazz goes beyond musical notes because it maintains an ongoing discussion through the harmony of rhythm and melodies with spontaneous improvisation. Through its jazz fusion style the Gabriël Noerens Trio celebrates musical heritage while producing music that sounds fresh and traditional simultaneously.
The three members of the Gabriël Noerens Trio united their talents at Codarts Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Rotterdam where Gabriël Noerens (BE) leads on drums and Thijmen Melissant (NL) plays guitar alongside Eljo Hendrosuseno (NL) on bass. The trio recently released “Be Swingin'” which demonstrates their exceptional skill sets alongside their jazz historical appreciation and ensemble synergy.
The trio initiates a seamless dialogue between musicians as they begin by expressing heartfelt soulful sounds from their first musical notes. The rhythmic heartbeat of the drumming produced by Noerens enables Melissant’s guitar to take center stage and Hendrosuseno’s bass to provide grounding support. These musicians perform an enchanting musical duet which feels like real dialogue through its fluid and vibrant soul-infused style.
The song “Be Swingin'” respects the fundamental jazz swing principles through its presentation while using modern musical elements. The musical production creates an authentic jazz club experience with its low lights matched by interior candle reflections and shifting glass sounds and dancing audience members. The production of the song achieves precise equilibrium between instruments enabling every instrument to stand out while maintaining musical harmony.
The Gabriël Noerens Trio welcomes all audience members from veteran jazz fans to newcomers through their performance space where historical jazz fundamentals unify with modern creative music and every melodic expression comes with deliberate swing.
