Einsteins Piano: Gerald Clayton

Gerald Clayton is one of the most exciting pianists in contemporary jazz. His playing is characterized by lyrical elegance, harmonic sophistication and a fascinating balance between composition and improvisation. He combines tradition and modernity with great ease, searches for new tonal colors and often lets his musical stories develop in the moment.

The four-time GRAMMY-nominated pianist has worked with greats such as Diana Krall, Roy Hargrove, John Scofield and Charles Lloyd and has long since established himself as an independent voice on the international jazz scene. His concerts thrive on spontaneous ideas, subtle interaction and a musical depth that touches and surprises in equal measure.
