Also in 2016 there is still room to play in the agenda 
solo, as well as with one of my bands

Jazzkia is Saskia Laroo’s Jazz Quartet and featuring a multi-national cast of jazz and cross-over musicians. They have toured across the world, curiously exploring new sound and groove combinations of electric and acoustic music with respect to tradition. 
Lady makes Miles on Trumpet with my Quartet: 
Straight Ahead bebop 'n boogaloo with kind of cool acoustic and electric sounds. 
Line up: 4 musicians (+ guests)

World-renowned trumpeter Saskia Laroo and international pianist/vocalist Warren Byrd together create a smorgasbord of music for a wide palette of occasions from the grand gala-fest to the intimate hang. Whether performing dance classics, the American songbook, hot afro-Latin grooves, or their own catchy, poignant originals this unique two can manifest as a soothing background pad, a party-rousing tandem, or a grand showpiece. Laroo and Byrd can unleash their potent charm anywhere anytime. At an opportune request, Saskia and Warren can transmute from state of the art duo into full band.
Pure organic jazz from Holland and the US
