Vernon Chatlein's Elements ft. Danny Van Kessel at

Jazz has been influenced by various music styles and to date one of the biggest crossovers has been with Latin American and Afro-Cuban music. With pioneers such as Chano Pozo, Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Chucho Valdez and Paquito d'Rivera and also Randal Corsen and Izaline Calister to mention a few, we've seen jazz take a new course in its development.

Jazz has been influenced by various music styles and to date one of the biggest crossovers has been with Latin American and Afro-Cuban music. With pioneers such as Chano Pozo, Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Chucho Valdez and Paquito d'Rivera and also Randal Corsen and Izaline Calister to mention a few, we've seen jazz take a new course in its development.

Vernon Chatlein's Elements consists of musicians from Vernon's home island Curaçao. Jean-Jacques Rojer who has played with the likes of Paquito D'Rivera and Wynton Marsalis, plays the guitar and is coming from a long lineage of very well-known and respected classical composers from Curaçao.
Pierre Dunker, bass player and composer, just moved to Holland and is already touring and playing with local and international musicians in the scene. As a youngster growing up Vernon used to always see these very same musicians in the clubs performing and occasionally sitting in with them. Now he's decided to share and make music with them.

Great friend and Amazing Pianist Danny van Kessel will be joining them as guest.
