Jammin’ with the Legends 🎺✨
From intimate clubs to major festivals – celebrating jazz with legends & rising stars.
Dear Music Friends,

Hope everyone is having a wonderful spring!
Warren and I are very happy to be sharing our feelgood music around the world with you.
In the coming weeks, we’re especially excited about a series of inspiring and honourful performances — collaborating with legendary artists as well as the new generation of jazz talent.
 
You’ll hear us in different settings: with The Saskia Laroo Band, Jazzkia (Saskia Laroo Jazz Quartet), and Duo Laroo/Byrd with special guests, and more.
Together, we bring a vibrant mix of our original music and works by other composers — for all ages and across cultures.
 
We look forward to seeing many of you along the way!
 
Jazzy greetz,
Saskia Laroo & Warren Byrd
