The Gabriël Noerens Trio has unveiled their newest EP, With Love, a thoughtful and expressive project that beautifully blends tradition with innovation. Featuring acclaimed Belgian pianist and composer Jef Neve, the record is a showcase of three young musicians who found their synergy at Codarts, the University of the Arts in Rotterdam. United by their shared love for jazz, they explore soundscapes that honor the genre’s roots while carving out a fresh identity of their own.
With Love is a collection that feels both deeply personal and widely accessible. The trio’s interplay is striking; every note and pause is purposeful, reflecting a maturity that belies their years. Noerens’ bass work provides a warm anchor, while the piano lines from Neve breathe elegance into the arrangements.
Layered on top, the drums drive each piece forward with subtlety and intention, allowing space for improvisation and dialogue between instruments.
What sets this EP apart is its balance of technical finesse and emotional weight. It’s jazz crafted with sincerity, carrying the listener through moments of calm reflection and bursts of joyful energy. With Love offers a glimpse into the future of the genre while staying true to its timeless spirit.
