In spring 2010 N/E, a jazz trio working in the field of research, experimentation and musical wealth, was born in Amsterdam. The particularity in this formation is the internationality of the musical approach and experience of the members : Eren Onsoy from Turkey on piano, Francesco Bongiorno from Italy on drums and Stephan Raidl from Germany on the double bass. N/E's productional trademark is the harmonical merging of musical styles.
A generic explosion of sound becomes meeting point of pop and classical music , with touches of baroque and elettronica  influences.
A real laboratory of improvisation is the fruit of the formation N/E, which has matured it's experience in the renowned Amsterdam conservatory.
Improvisation is a keystone in the production of their new original compositions.
This capacity makes the uniqueness of the repertoire, which joins the expressive and creative energie that risks to involve any kind of public to create time after time a unique spectacle.
From Holland, where the trio is born and continues to perform N/E will disembark in Europe in the summer of 2011.
