Lineup
Pianist Leonieke Scheuble
Pianist and organist Leonieke Scheuble is a rising star whose soulful touch and inventive phrasing have earned her a place among New Jersey’s most compelling jazz voices. From solo piano sets at Union County Performing Arts Center to dynamic trio performances at Shanghai Jazz, Leonieke’s artistry bridges generations and genres. Her Generations of Jazz series—featuring legends like Bill Crow and her father, drummer Nick Scheuble—celebrates the timeless spirit of hard bop while spotlighting her own original compositions. Whether leading a classic trio or collaborating with vocalists and horn players, Leonieke brings elegance, swing, and a deep reverence for jazz history to every stage she graces.
Bassist Bill Crow
Legendary jazz bassist Bill Crow is a living bridge between eras, having played with icons like Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz, Benny Goodman, and Marian McPartland since the 1950s. With a career spanning over seven decades, Crow’s deep swing and storytelling bass lines have anchored countless ensembles, from smoky club quartets to Broadway pit orchestras. At 97, he’s still performing—most notably with Leonieke Scheuble’s Generations of Jazz Trio, where his timeless groove continues to inspire new audiences. Whether on stage or in print (he’s also the author of Jazz Anecdotes), Bill Crow remains a cherished voice in the rhythm section and in jazz history itself
Guitarist Marel Hidalgo
Sixteen-year-old guitarist Marel Hidalgo is redefining jazz fusion with a vibrant blend of Caribbean rhythms, Latin flair, and classic jazz standards. Hailing from Bradley Beach, NJ, Marel has performed everywhere from the Exit Zero Jazz Festival to Bryant Park’s New York Guitar Festival, where he paid tribute to Jamaican legend Ernest Ranglin. His quartet’s recent show at Terraza 7 showcased a powerful journey through the African diaspora, while his upcoming appearance at the Morris County Library in April 2026 celebrated Jazz Appreciation Month. Whether soloing on “Cherokee” or grooving through calypso and ska, Marel’s artistry bridges generations—making him a natural fit for cross-cultural series and this Generations of Jazz event.
Drummer Nick Scheuble
Jazz master Nick Scheuble is lighting up New Jersey’s stages this season with soul-stirring performances that span the region’s most iconic venues. Whether driving the groove with Leonieke Scheuble’s Classic Trio or honoring the legacy of bassist Bill Crow in the Generations of Jazz series, Nick brings a rhythmic storytelling that bridges past and present. Catch him live around New Jersey and more. From hard bop fireworks to organ trio warmth, Nick’s artistry keeps jazz history alive—one beat at a time.
