Jadi Peperzak Quartet

The Jadi Peperzak Quartet is an exciting jazz group from Rotterdam, formed around guitarist and composer Jadi Peperzak, a graduate student at Codarts Rotterdam. Known for their energetic performances, the quartet blends their diverse musical backgrounds into a fresh and innovative sound.

Their repertoire consists entirely of original compositions by Peperzak, inspired by jazz legends such as Pat Metheny and Bill Evans. In 2024, Peperzak won the Conservatorium Talent Award, presented to the most promising jazz student in the Netherlands. The quartet has performed at events such as the Jazz in Duketown festival.

The four musicians are not only bandmates but also good friends, which contributes to their strong musical connection on stage. With their unique approach to jazz, the quartet has quickly established itself as a rising act in the Dutch jazz scene. They are set to release their debut album this summer, marking the next chapter in their musical journey.
