The Rembrandt Trio is internationally renowned for its artistic curiosity and innovative collaborations that continue to push jazz forward. The trio plays a pioneering role in collaborations with European musicians and has so far teamed up with renowned artists such as Kayhan Kalhor, Paolo Fresu, Vincent Peirani, Norma Winstone, Verneri Pohjola, Sylvain Rifflet and Perico Sambeat. Both the debut album »Self Portrait« (2007) and »A Long Story Short« (2014) were nominated for the prestigious Edison Award.

Their latest release, »A Wind Invisible Sweeps Us Through the World« (2021), showcases the magic and universality of music. Driven by a shared curiosity, the trio once again ventures into uncharted territories to incorporate motifs, themes and experiences from around the world into their work.

With the release »Graffiti Jazz« (2019), Rembrandt Frerichs harkens back to his past as a former graffiti artist, releasing a jazz EP that translates the excitement and euphoria of illegal graffiti spraying into musical sound, form and rhythm. The breakthrough release, »It's Still Autumn« (2019), opened the 2019 North Sea Jazz Festival and was described by Jazz Magazine as »one of the highlights« of the festival.

The trio has already played in renowned jazz clubs like Ronnie Scott's in London, the legendary Birdland Jazzclub in New York or opened the Taichung Jazz Festival in Taiwan in front of 60,000 enthusiastic jazz fans. Rembrandt Frerichs, Tony Overwater and Vinsent Planjer are a real ›working band‹: they still rehearse weekly and have been touring the world for 14 years.

Rembrandt Frerichs is highly regarded in the classical world for his ability to combine classical music and improvisation. The pianist and composer of the trio recently ventured into a new project, »Off the Carousel«, together with his chamber orchestra, the Staalmeesters. In this, he challenges the 10 European musicians and his drummer Vinsent Planjer to step out of their comfort zone, improvise during the concert and bring musical freedom back into classical music. In addition, Frerichs and Planjer performed a piano concerto with the Concertgebouw Orchestra String Quartet in which the orchestral parts were composed by Frerichs himself and the piano and percussion parts were freely improvised.
