    Programme

    The performance will bring together generations: Trudy’s decades of experience and deep connection to the jazz tradition, blended with the fresh perspectives, energy, and creativity of two emerging artists. This collaboration creates a vibrant dialogue between old and new, tradition and reinvention.

    The programme will feature standards from the Great American Songbook, alongside jazz re-imaginings of more contemporary repertoire, as well as original compositions by Louis—offering a set that is both rooted in jazz history and forward-looking in spirit.
