Der 5-fach Grammy-pr\u00e4mierte Pianist und Komponist Bill Laurance verbindet scheinbar m\u00fchelos die unterschiedlichsten musikalischen Stile. Urspr\u00fcnglich ausgebildeter klassischer Pianist, stellt Laurance als Gr\u00fcndungsmitglied von Snarky Puppy seit vielen Jahren seine einzigartige Kreativit\u00e4t und Improvisationsfreude unter Beweis.<\/p>\n
Seine vielf\u00e4ltige Arbeit umfasst Werbekompositionen f\u00fcr Apple, Filmsoundtracks wie \u201eUn Traductor\u201c (2018) und Kooperationen mit renommierten Ensembles wie der WDR Big Band und dem Metropole Orkest.\u00a0Die Musik auf seinem j\u00fcngsten Soloalbum Lumen entstand in der St. Faith\u2019s Church in London, einem Raum, der Laurance die Freiheit gab, in eine besonders intime und spirituelle Klangwelt einzutauchen. \u201eIch wollte die Musik einfach flie\u00dfen lassen\u201c, sagt er. Das Ergebnis ist eine Mischung aus durchkomponierten St\u00fccken und spontanen Improvisationen, die den gesamten Klangkosmos des Konzertfl\u00fcgels ausloten.<\/p>\n
Mit stimmungsvollen St\u00fccken wie dem impressionistischen \u201eLumen\u201c oder dem swingenden \u201eDove\u201c zeigt er seine neue Vision von melodischer Klangfreiheit \u2013 eine Einladung, sich der Musik ganz zu \u00f6ffnen.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"bill-laurance-solo","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance.jpg","id":16280,"extension":"jpg","width":1365,"height":767,"filesize":266154,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":169,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":6811,"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance-300x169.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":575,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":36386,"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance-1024x575.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":4228,"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":432,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":23917,"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance-768x432.jpg"},"trp-custom-language-flag":{"width":18,"height":10,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":803,"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance-18x10.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"width":604,"height":270,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":14485,"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance-604x270.jpg"},"cmplz_banner_image":{"width":350,"height":100,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5244,"url":"https:\/\/www.jazzinstitut.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2025_05_06_Bill_Laurance-350x100.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-05-06
