The Contemporary Jazz Ensemble consists of five students of Fontys Academy of the Arts (FAA) in Tilburg, who all have different backgrounds and are in different places of their study programme. Another aspect that makes them unique from one another is their cultural backgrounds. With half of the ensemble coming from South-Korea and the other half from The Netherlands, they all have different approaches and styles. Besides all these differences, there is one thing that they all share and what brought them together, namely their love for contemporary jazz music and performing. 

From the moment the theatre gets dark and the stage lightning is lit, their communal focus will enable them to create a well-balanced way of playing their repertoire. By listening to each other, react to what they're hearing and by and challenging themselves, their goal is to play every tune like it's new. Of course their improvisations also play a big part in this.
