Modern jazz piano trio with a broad repertoire of original compositions and a few pop covers and standards. The repertoire will feature original compositions and arrangements by Noah, Kayvon and Gervis, alongside extended interpretations of works from the jazz lexicon. The music will blend the trio’s unique personalities, experimentalism, and deep understanding of the music’s history.

Noah Haidu
Jazz pianist and composer Noah Haidu combines modernism, soul, and swing to create what the Wall Street Journal has described as “his own compelling brand of pianism.”
Noah started classical piano at age 6, spurred on initially by fear of his vindictive piano teacher. Falling in love with Jazz at age 20, the young pianist moved to NYC, supporting himself as a waiter until he was fired for breaking one too many dishes.
After paying his dues as a freelancer for many years, Noah has lately toured and recorded with icons such as Billy Hart, Buster Williams, Lenny White and Steve Wilson. His Sunnyside Records albums garnered millions of streams and reached the top 5 in the JazzWeek radio charts. @instagram , YouTube,https://www.noahhaidu.com

Gervis Myles
Born and raised in Wisconsin, double bassist Gervis Myles is a 2020 graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music with an impressive range of musical experiences. He has been in a wide variety of musical contexts, ranging from the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown at the Walter Kerr Theater in midtown, playing South African-style pop grooves with the Ndlovu Youth Choir, all the way to cutting-edge contemporary jazz music with artists like Tivon Pennicott and Peter Evans. He cherishes every musical experience for what it is and hopes to continue to grow and learn in New York.

Kayvan Gordon
Kayvon Gordon was born and raised in Detroit. At a young age, he was taken under the mentorship of legendary trumpeter Marcus Belgrave. Later, he went on to study at the University of Michigan. He has also had the honor of sharing the stage with Sullivan Fortner, Robert Hurst, Rodney Whitaker, Johnny O’Neal, Ravi Coltrane, and JD Allen, to name a few. Currently based in New York, Kayvon Gordon seeks to contribute to the forward thinking aesthetic of his contemporaries while honoring the rich musical legacy of Detroit.
