Come support pianist and composer Julian Hartwell on his first European tour - first stop Berlin! Making a one-night only solo piano appearance at the Rixdorfer JazzSalon at Bauchhund Gallery, Hartwell will perform a diverse two sets of material, from new works-in-progress, past compositions, and creative interpretations of his own and others' jazz repertoire. A special night in an intimate house-concert style, not to be missed!

As a solo pianist, it is quite evident that Julian has undergone a thorough study of the jazz idiom. His fresh takes on time-worn standards and the Great American Songbook strike a balance with modern post-bop influences and contemporary sophistication. On the more artistic side of the equation, Hartwell is an avid composer of solo piano works, taking inspiration from many genres and influences to craft a unique and evocative sound. Delving into realms of neo-classical, folk music and improvisation, this more introspective side to his repertoire is ideally suited to such endeavors as artistic collaborations, commissioned projects, film scores or intimate house concerts. While Julian reveals this solo side to the world much less frequently, you can be sure that an official release of this kind is waiting in the wings for willing ears when the time is right.
