Jeroen Van Herzeele had the opportunity to perform jazz standards at an early age on stage considering that his father was a musician too. After a short study of classic saxophone, he dedicated his life to jazz music and started attending workshops and seminars, in the meanwhile following courses at the Jazzstudio in Antwerp.
Jeroen soon started exploring other forms of music (free jazz, rock, blues, soul, gospel,...), elements clearly present on Gratitude Trio recordings. He found his own sound on the instrument, intimate, spiritual and instinctive, a sound in accordance with his soul. He is constantly perfecting the jazz language, seeking the experiment in a soulful confrontation with the challenges of a changing world.
He likes to let his far out improvisations being carried on a city jungle beat, modern dance rhythms, without losing his acoustic power, breath.
