In 2009 she released her first cd Midday Moon together with jazz musicians Albert van Veenendaal (piano), Hans Hasebos (marimba) and Alan Purves (percussion). “Albert and I started playing together regularly from February 2006 to explore a mix between two worlds; a classical violinist inspired by jazz standards, and an improvising pianist without style boundaries. Alan and Hans joined us later, adding their own unique styles of improvisation.” (Tineke de Jong) * Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest
