Véronique also offers the option of a trio (with bass or saxophone) plus a 4-6 piece band. 

Véronique has been performing in the Poole/Bournemouth area with her duo, trio and band for the last 10 years.

Jazz pianist and composer Tim Chernikoff has been making his mark in the New York jazz scene with a style that has stood out to musicians and listeners alike. His approach to music has been to find his own musical identity through dialogue with the jazz traditions of bebop and swing while exploring personal connections to the music, through a process of purposeful discovery on the piano and composition. Described by jazz performer Dan Haerle as “extremely inventive in his Composition and Improvisation”, his works expand upon the progressive pallet of jazz to express ideas and personal revelations, and their artistic sparks are further illuminated through his collaborative ventures.
     In his budding career, the up-and-coming artist has had experiences across the US performing with world class musicians— in the Bay Area California, Dallas Fort Worth Texas, and New York City.  Educated in the West Coast (Stanford Jazz Workshop), Southwest (North Texas) and East Coast (Manhattan School of Music) regions of the United States, Chernikoff has had a diversity of educational and professional experiences. 
     As a composer, Chernikoff draws influence from a range of  influences from Maurice Ravel and Thelonious Monk to Cecil Taylor and Frank Zappa, Chernikoff appeals to every attitude and emotion that crosses his field of view, with material ranging from wistful and elegant to angry, disillusioned and even crass.  The resulting work in his trio work presents an adventurous musical climate that promises to douse the listener in splashes of catharsis and rumination.            About his compositional style he says “if I didn’t appeal to the quiet serenity and bombastic crassness that I observed in my daily life, then I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.”
     Off the wake of his 2021 Debut release “Pieces of Sanity”, Chernikoff is working towards a new album to be release in late 2025, and will be premiering works in progress at his shows in 2025.
