Jazz is more than just music—it’s a conversation, a living dialogue of rhythm, melody, and improvisation. The Gabriël Noerens Trio embodies this spirit, fusing jazz tradition with modern grooves to create something both rooted and refreshing.
Formed at Codarts Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Rotterdam, the trio features Gabriël Noerens (BE) on drums, Thijmen Melissant (NL) on guitar, and Eljo Hendrosuseno (NL) on bass. Their latest release, Be Swingin’, is a testament to their skill, synergy, and deep respect for jazz history.
From the first note, the trio sets the stage for an effortless, soul-filled musical dialogue. Noerens’ drumming breathes life into the rhythm, allowing Melissant’s guitar to sing and Hendrosuseno’s bass to anchor the groove. The interplay between them feels like an intimate conversation—smooth, dynamic, and full of soul.
Be Swingin’ pays homage to classic jazz swing while injecting a contemporary energy. It evokes the atmosphere of dimly lit jazz clubs, candlelight flickering against the clinking of glasses, and an audience swaying to every beat. The track’s production is masterfully balanced, ensuring that each instrument shines while maintaining a cohesive sound.
Whether you’re a lifelong jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, the Gabriël Noerens Trio invites you into their world—where tradition meets innovation, and every note swings with purpose.
