Suzan Veneman Sextet

Could Chet Baker have been reincarnated in trumpeter Suzan Veneman? With her beautiful, soulful sound and adventurous compositions, she conquers concert hall after concert hall. Before Veneman formed her own sextet in 2019, she played with the Beets Meutgeert New Jazz Orchestra and the Millennium Jazz Orchestra, among others. In 2021, she released her debut album Migrations Of The Mind with her sextet. On this record, she explores the three stages of grief she went through after being diagnosed with MS, culminating in a dazzling finale of acceptance and renewed energy. The disease does not prevent her from fully penetrating the jazz world.

Her second album Zinder was released in the spring of 2024. With this project Suzan explores the dynamic power of the trumpet section combined with a free, chord-less trio. She shows the variety of roles the trumpet can take on within jazz. An ode to the trumpet!
