David Jans

Artistically, David is influenced by many artists from Jazz to Classic to Film Music and any kind of Rock Music, such as Kenny Garrett’s expressive sound on Alto Sax, or the incredibly story telling music from Hans Zimmer with the simplest melodies or even the powerfulness of metal music. At the moment he is working on his own project the „David Jans Quartet“ with friends from the Conservatorium Maastricht where he is studying at. The Quartet, consisting of Jungmi Yun (Piano), Giorgio Stienstra (E-Bass), Ilja Tarnopolskij (Drums) and David Jans (Alto Saxophone) - people from four different countries, meeting in Maastricht - currently covers some of their favorite tunes and plays originals written by David. Their sound is a quite modern Jazz sound always with the intention of freedom, spontaneity and fun! Their playing could be described as „energetic“. He started learning the Saxophone at the age of 8 at the local music school as well as in the local Harmony Orchestra. Later he began also to learn the organ and the piano before he continued his classical Saxophone studies in the Conservatory in Ettelbruck in 2014 where he finished his studies with the „diplôme supérieur“ in 2020. Being fascinated by the sound of Jazz and the Art of improvisation, he also began to study Jazz Saxophone in the same school in 2015 with Maxime Bender. Besides Jazz and Classical music he won also experiences in Pop and Rock by founding a Coverband where he plays Keyboard since then. Being convinced to get a professional musician quite early, he started studying at the Conservatorium in Maastricht with his teacher Reiner Witzel after being graduated from highschool. Nowadays he is preparing his Bachelor in Jazz Saxophone.
