Brooklyn, NY based pianist Erik Deutsch exists in many musical worlds, touring and recording with jazz artists like Ben Allison, Steven Bernstein, Ellery Eskelin, Theo Bleckmann, Nels Cline, Jenny Scheinman, Allison Miller, Art Lande, and Ron Miles. His unique ability to genre-cross has led him to work with pop artists like Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash, Citizen Cope, Shooter Jennings, Alice Smith, Phillip Phillips, and Devotchka. Deutsch also holds the distinction of being the only keyboardist to tour regularly with 7-string guitar master Charlie Hunter (from 2007 to 2009 he toured and recorded two albums as a member of Charlie's trio).

Erik's brand new recording entitled Outlaw Jazz, featuring a new blend of countrified jazz with his signature psychedelic soul jazz sound, with an all-star cast of musicians: Tony Mason on drums, Jeff Hill on bass, Avi Bortnick on guitar, Jon Graboff on pedal steel, and special guest vocalist Victoria Reed.

"Erik Deutsch, a pianist with a taste for tuneful provocation, is an especially valuable resource as a solo commentator and accompanist…" --Nate Chinen, NY Times

--Philadelphia City Paper

Featuring Avi Bortnick/guitar, Jeff Hill/Bass, Tony Mason/Drums and Guest Vocalist Victoria Reed
