For the second set Art Jones will play a solo performance combining visuals and sound. On the third set Art Jones will join Eva Novoa and Vivienne Aerts in a trio set. An evening of great music, projections, visual poetry, images, colors and sound combined with heartfelt improvisations.
Vivienne Aerts
The staggeringly versatile skill-set of NYC-based Dutch Singer, Educator, Psychologist and Artist-preneur Vivienne Aerts busts myths around the ‘Jill of all trades’ paradigm with a nonchalance that leaves even the most skeptical purist taking a bow. A practicing clinical psychologist and choir conductor in Europe before she went on to be a Fulbright scholar and Suma Cum Laude Berklee graduate, her collaborators since have included some of the most iconic names in the world of jazz. Her eclectic ‘experience’ events in collaboration with her husband, renowned pastry chef Ted Steinebach was the root of her multi-disciplinary approach to the making of her new album, ‘Typuhthâng’, which not just features a 100 female musicians from around the globe, but also comes with a bar of bean-to-bar chocolate from Original Beans Chocolate, a company that pro-actively empowers female cacao farmers of Virunga State Park in Congo. Besides this, she is a faculty member at Berklee College of music where she has been instrumental in building a new generation of performers who are not only skilled musicians but also mentally and physically healthy individuals.

Eva Novoa
"A vivid sense of drama and its intrinsic, minute shadings of light upon dark places animate pianist Eva Novoa's work. Barcelona bred and keening with Brooklyn bravura, Novoa swaps the fore and backgrounds with uncompromised glee. Expressionistic, Impressionistic, and forthright, she aligns and upsets the edges to her liking. (...) the whole of Novoa/Gress/Gray Trio, Vol. 1 is a distinctly engaging and fascinating listen". Mike Jurkovic, All About Jazz **** February 2024.
