TREE ON IK

Boston´s Most Kreative Jazz Trio

 

Tony Kieraldo: piano-keyboards
Arie "Fantastique" Werbrouck:  acoustic bass
Joe De Matteo: drums
Tree On Ik performs original music merging swing, latin, hip-hop, and avant-garde in bursting rhythms and harmonies.  The music is energetic, intense, creative, interactive, surprising, playful and tremendously inspiring. Its improvisations stretch the borders of jazz and improvised music.
The trio was formed in 2000 while studying at Boston’s New England Conservatory.
 
The trio entertains audiences with a blend of musical styles in concerts, clubs and social events in Boston (Club 608, Common Ground, The Good Life, Jordan Hall, Harvard Business School, Coolidge Corner), New York (The Lion’s Den, Ithaca University), the Newport Jazz Festival, and Washington DC (World Bank/IFC, Twins Jazz Lounge, Bohemian Caverns).
 
Tree On Ik has carried out two tours of South America (2000-2001).  Primarily in Peru, they performed for large audiences in Lima, Arequipa, and Cuzco, accompanied by Julio “Chocolate Algendones”, master Afro-Peruvian percussionist.
 
In 2002, the trio has released their first album of original music: “You Choose”.
