Teus Nobel Acoustic Trio

Trumpeter and Edison-winner Teus Nobel is one of the leading jazz musicians in our country. Moreover, in recent years he has been more productive than ever! In rapid succession followed the albums Journey Of Man (2019), Saudade (2019, awarded an Edison Award – Jazz Nationaal), Tanto Amor (2021), Pleasure Is The Measure (2021) and Human First (2023).

His now ninth album, After Hours, followed in September 2023. A special album because, for the first time, Nobel released a production on which he emphasized’ American jazz standards’. The occasion is the 40th anniversary of his favorite Chet Baker trio album Someday My Prince Will Come (1983). Moreover, September marks exactly 20 years since this album marked his entry into exploring the jazz vocabulary. 

At the time, he delved extensively into the idiom and sound of this phenomenal trio, which has always remained very dear to him as a result. The album received rave reviews and with a concert series of more than 50 concerts, a large part of the Netherlands and Belgium has now become acquainted with his trio. Moreover, the digital EP Love Vibrations followed in spring 2024.

The line-up with which this trumpeter comes to So What’s Next is the same as on Chet Baker’s aforementioned trio album, namely with guitar (Tim Langedijk) and double bass (Thomas Pol). A line-up that offers plenty of room for the melancholic, hushed sounds that so characterised Baker. But of course there is also room for some serious swing!
