Join us for our regular Grow Roots series on selected Wednesdays of the month, where we showcase the best, underexposed talent London has to offer. This week, Jazz pianist and composer Jonny Liebeck returns to Grow following his successful album launch last summer.
Jazz pianist and composer Jonny Liebeck returns to Grow following his album launch last summer where he will be performing some new work inspired by contemporary jazz as well as his passion for electronic dance music genres such as Jungle, Breakbeat and Deep House. Along with a few tunes from his albums 'The Next Chapter' and 'Mellow Mind' expect a fusion of soulful jazz harmony, lyrical guitar melodies, groovy basslines and intricate breakbeats.
Born and raised in West London, Jonny started his musical life playing the Church Organ at Mass every Sunday from the age of 13. During his late teen years, although progressing rapidly as an organist, Jonny started to teach himself jazz piano.
A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music & Trinity Laban, Jonny gigs all over London and has performed at many London venues including the Southbank Centre (Purcell Room), Royal Albert Hall, Pizza Express, The Vortex, Rich Mix, Toulouse Lautrec, Bush Hall, The Hootananny and the CLF Art Lounge. Furthermore, he has played alongside Cuban Jazz legend Omar Puente & Soul legend Mica Paris at The Round Chapel in Clapton.
An active composer, Jonny released his second album 'The Next Chapter' last summer as a follow-up to his debut album 'Mellow Mind' in 2020 and 2 EP's 'A Message Through Sound' & 'New Days and Past Times'. The album features a combination of emotive solo piano compositions and band compositions. He is currently working on a new EP to be recorded this summer.
Drawing from his roots in classical and jazz music, Jonny's sound is also heavily influenced by genres such as Jazz Funk, Jungle & Breakbeat, and he blends these influences together in his writing, creating a very interesting and unique sound.
