STRAY BIRDS By Joey Van Leeuwen @ The Jazz Loft

Born and raised in Rochester, NY, he grew up on jazz music which he learned both in the classroom and in the streets and clubs of New Orleans. Notable performances include the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, French Quarter Fest, New Orleans Sacred Music Festival, Congo Square Rhythm Fest, and the Xerox-Rochester International Jazz Festival.

Joey holds a Master's in Contemporary Improvisation from New England Conservatory and a Bachelor's in Jazz Studies from the University of New Orleans. He is sponsored by Saluda Cymbals.

Drawing on the intricate melodies and rhythms of Indian music and the rich harmony and freedom of jazz, the music is immersive and transcendental, taking the listener through an imaginative landscape of their own fantastic design.
