Almut Kuehne (voice)

"German pianist Graewe is one of the most significant voices to emerge on his instrument in the last 20 years. He comes as much out of twentieth-century classical music as jazz, though his outrageous technique and at times explosive touch recall Lennie Tristano or Bud Powell. "
John Corbett, Chicago
Georg Graewe, who has been composing and performing professionally since the age of 15, formed his first quintet in 1974. He has consequently led a variety of ensembles ranging from trio to chamber orchestra formats, which have involved some of the major soloists in contemporary music. His compositions have been performed around the world; concerts in New York, Istanbul, Berlin, Rome, Boston, Köln, Vancouver, Paris, Chicago, Amsterdam, Zagreb, San Francisco, Wien, Montreal, Dallas, London, Toronto, San Diego, Zürich, New Orleans, and elsewhere have established Graewe's international reputation.
