Lorenz Kellhuber Piano Solo
„Hardly anyone is likely to walk between jazz and ‚classical piano music‘ in such a spectacularly oscillating way as the pianist Lorenz Kellhuber. Whether improvising over ostinati in changing positions or between free tonality and bound harmonic sound anchors, Lorenz Kellhuber creates an intimate, concentrated situation between himself, the piano, the room and his audience,“ writes the Neue Musikzeitung about his current solo album „Live at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg“.
Lorenz Kellhuber Trio featuring Felix Henkelhausen – Bass & Moritz Baumgärtner – Drums
With Felix Henkelhausen on double bass, one of the greatest talents of the European jazz scene, and Moritz Baumgärtner, one of the most versatile and innovative drummers of recent years, Lorenz Kellhuber has formed „one of the best German piano trios“ (Audio) in 2018. Together they create „an ebb and flow of interplay, monologues, duets and trios whose brilliance is impossible to resist. A bandleader and pianist, very individual, unconventional and full of ideas, with two congenial partners“ (Jazzpodium).
Lorenz Kellhuber Standard Experience featuring Joe Sanders – Bass & Jesse Simpson – Drums
Lorenz Kellhuber consistently finds significant inspiration in the Great American Songbook, whose pieces, also known as jazz standards, provide a perfect foundation for elaborate improvisations. The ingenuity, virtuosity, and understanding of jazz history with which Lorenz Kellhuber approaches these jazz standards can be heard in his project „Standard Experience.“ In this project, he performs in high-profile and changing line-ups, and has so far released the critically acclaimed album „The Brooklyn Session.“ By inviting Joe Sanders on bass and Jesse Simpson on drums, Kellhuber has now brought two of the most accomplished musicians from the American jazz scene into the fold.
