Olga Reznichenko Solo - Set 1

Olga Reznichenko, who lives in Berlin and was born in 1989 in Taganrog, Russia, on the Sea of Azov, is on a roll: First, Südwestrundfunk announced that the pianist would be awarded the SWR Jazz Prize in 2026; then she went on to win the German Jazz Prize in the “Piano/Keyboard Instruments” category; and now she’s coming to Cologne Jazzweek as a “Featured Artist.” As a teenager, Reznichenko discovered in jazz a unique medium through which to express both her personality and her conflicting emotions.

She first studied jazz piano in Rostov, Russia, before transferring to study under Richie Beirach at the “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” University of Music and Dance in Leipzig. In 2018, she founded her jazz piano trio, which is now known simply by her initials, O.R.T.Reznichenko is just as at home atthe grand pianoas she is onthe keyboardandsynthesizer. And whether performing with a band or solo at the piano, her improvisational music often oscillates between odd time signatures and the rawness of punk rock, frequently exploring the extremes of sound, phrasing, and tone production.
