Jeroen Reggers Quartet
After playing in trio for a while, Jeroen asked tenor player Steven Delannoye to join in for a session. His sound and playing suited the music perfectly, as did the blend with the guitar; the Quartet was born!
Soon after they recorded a short set of music in the studio, which gives a great example of what their music sounds like.

Compositions are written by Jeroen, in which he leaves a lot of space for improvisation and interpretation by the other musicians. This way the music sounds fresh, there's always something new to listen to. In his compositions Jeroen tries to blend jazz influences with experimental rock influences (think Radiohead, the smile...).
There's a strong focus on interplay: Gert-Jan en Nic provide solid grooves while interacting with the melodies from guitar and saxophone. Together they bring a contemporary jazz music, sometimes eclectic, other times sensitive, always aiming to take the listener with them on their journey.
