About

Since 2013, Jessie Brevé has made her mark on both the Dutch and international pop and jazz scenes as a multi-instrumentalist with a unique focus on the baritone saxophone, bass clarinet, flute, and alto saxophone. After completing her studies in Amsterdam, Trondheim, and Berlin, she began collaborating with numerous ensembles, including the Grammy-winning Metropole Orchestra, Mo van der Does Motet and the Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw. Jessie has performed at renowned venues and festivals such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Bimhuis, Paradiso, Lantaren Venster, De Melkweg, Pukkelpop, and many more.

Music has been her passion from a young age, with a house filled with music — especially jazz — that ignited her love for the saxophone. While studying at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, she was also introduced to the bass clarinet and flute. She discovered that experimenting with different instruments and their unique timbres provided endless inspiration. Jessie enjoys playing these instruments in both large ensembles and smaller groups, where she can explore their full potential in improvisation.

A dynamic improviser, Jessie thrives on creating music spontaneously, a passion she channels into many projects, including her own band, Taiga, where she also composes and arranges music.
