Jonny Liebeck Quintet

Mixing 20th century influenced jazz & fusion with electronic dance music, keyboardist & bandleader Jonny Liebeck has crafted a sound that captures the zeitgeist of this moment. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music & Trinity Laban, he’s had gigs all over London, performing at London venues including the Southbank Centre (Purcell Room), Royal Albert Hall, Pizza Express, Toulouse Lautrec, Rich Mix, 91 Living Room & many more, as well as playing alongside Cuban Jazz legend Omar Puente & Soul legend Mica Paris.

Joining Jonny on the stand are four outstanding musicians who have played with Questlove, Mark Ronson, Jamie Cullum, Grace Jones & more, and are acclaimed in their own right: Donovan Haffner (sax), Ezekiel Ajie (bass), Owen Snider (guitar) & Andrew McLean (drums). The quintet will be performing new work, as well as some tunes from previous albums/EP's 'Influences', 'The Next Chapter' & 'Mellow Mind'.

Expect a fusion of soulful jazz harmony, luscious sound textures, lyrical guitar and sax melodies, groovy basslines, and intricate breakbeats to get you up on your feet. This is jazz with at least one foot on the dancefloor…

“There is almost certainly no other musician on the London music scene … who has found such instinctively musical ways to combine jazz and electronic dance music. It is almost as if he is creating a new art form." Sebastian Scotney, UK Jazz News
