Jean Rohe Trio

Jean Rohe is quickly becoming a gem of New York City's jazz and Brazilian music scene. Her original compositions and fresh arrangements blend jazz, North American folk music, and Brazilian and Afro-Peruvian dance traditions. Her beautiful voice and captivating stage presence won her the audience favorite award at the Montreux Jazz Festival (2006). She followed up with shows everywhere from New York City's Birdland to Havana's Teatro National.
Her trio features three-part harmony singing and the talented Ilia Tsinadze on guitar, Liam Robinson on accordion, and Jean on mandolin and a cornucopia of Latin American percussion instruments. What sets Jean's performances apart is the way she engages listeners in body, heart, and mind through captivating storytelling, astute, socially conscious lyrics, and lively rhythms and melodies, in a participatory experience that involves singing, clapping, or dancing along.
