Marius Van Den Brink ft. Jon Boutellier and Noah Halpern*

Renowned trumpet player and composer Sean Jones, compares Marius' writing to that of a contemporary Horace Silver. This is no small feat, given that Silver is one of the most influential jazz pianists and composers of the 20th century. The album contains solely Marius' authentic compositions, which, besides Sean Jones, have gained recognition from numerous highly esteemed jazz musicians. Award winning jazz pianist and composer Marius Van Den Brink’s album 'New York Knock' features a supergroup of jazz musicians consisting of Sean Jones, Stacy Dillard, Matt Penman, Willie Jones III, and Keita Ogawa. In addition, several special guests like Maurice Brown and Ara Dinkjian make appearances throughout the album. Catch Marius in an exclusive four-night residency at Black Cat, September 25–28—four nights of modern swing, sharp writing, and high-octane improvisation from one of jazz’s most exciting voices. Band Lineup: Marius Van Den Brink, Piano/Compositions Noah Halpern*, Trumpet (9/25-9/27) Jon Boutellier, Sax Noah Garabedian, Bass Anwar Marshall, Drums
