In his new project, Jerome Klein works on an array of contrasts in a minimalist setting, slipping into a misty mood of melancholy and dark tones.
In this almost pure setting, his music surprises with loud splinters of light, explosion of energy and even frenetic extasy when the musicians let their passion take over.
Although he has given many hints, Jerome Klein will keep the surprise for his live performance.

: BIOGRAPHY
After studying classical piano and percussion at the Luxembourg Conservatory, Jerome Klein was drawn towards the freedom of improvisation and jazz. He devoted himself to drums, vibraphone and piano. Jérôme studied at the Brussels Royal Conservatory, a.o. with Eric Legnini, Bruno Castellucci, Phil Abraham, got his Bachelor in vibes, drums and piano and then obtained a Master’s degree in drums.
Jerome has been a member of the European Masterclass Bigband, conducted by the great German arranger Peter Herbolzheimer. As a result, Jérôme has played with musicians such as Benny Golson, Ack van Rooyen, Herb Geller & John Ruocco.
In his own style, Jerome Klein crosses through genres, from jazz to pop and rock, making a large use of free improvisation. Very in demand in the Luxembourg jazz scene, he plays also regularly in several jazz-clubs in Europe as well as festivals like Jazz à Vienne, Gaume Jazz, Jazz à Mâcon, Blues'n Jazz Rallye and Like a Jazz Machine at the CCRD Opderschmelz.
