“His jazz <\/span>
is all <\/span>
flow” <\/span>
(Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

For the website Something Else!, Florian Weber is “a truly pioneering pianist”, the New York Times applauds his “aesthetics of aerodynamic flow”, All About Jazz attests to the German’s “all-consuming musical appetite”, and the Süddeutsche Zeitung sees him as an exceptional pianist “with a fresh, unspent sound” who has “interesting and compelling things to say”. The critics’ praise is an expression of a successful career in the course of which Weber has established himself as a permanent fixture on the global scene. His collaborations with renowned colleagues also speak for themselves. On stage and in the studio, Weber has worked with Pat Metheny, Albert Mangelsdorff, Lee Konitz and Michael Brecker, among others. With his “Inside Out” project with trumpeter Markus Stockhausen, Florian Weber was already a guest at asphalt 2016. Further evidence of his high reputation can be found in the honours the musician has received to date. These include the Steinway Prize at the solo piano competition at the Montreux Jazz Festival, the ECHO Jazz in the “Best National Pianist” category and the WDR Jazz Prize for Improvisation. When Florian Weber won the prestigious Belmont Prize in 2020, the jury judged the pianist to be “one of the essential innovators, his playing conveys an unprecedented musical freedom”.<\/p>\n

At asphalt 2024, Florian Weber will give an intimate and energetic solo concert – in an unusual stage setting where the audience will provide him with live musical impulses for his jazzy-polyphonic improvisations. This unique performance will allow a peek into the creative process of this exceptional pianist: Florian Weber plans to release an album of pieces for solo piano in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the press says:<\/p>\n

“Florian Weber is a world-class pianist” (Jazzthetik)<\/p>\n

“Weber’s music, rich in tonal colour, shimmers from dreamy to daring.” (Deutschlandfunk)<\/p>\n

“Everything flows in his jazz: impressionistically dreamy, floating in the thoroughly modern dissonances, which nevertheless do not stand in the way of harmony.” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)<\/p>\n
