Lionel Haas | A true jazz and soul man on the keys

lionel-haas.jpgA quite inspired pianist, who really could play all kinds of stuff, is the brilliant musician Lionel Haas, who is very often performing in Berlin jazz clubs at present. Already in his youth, he came to cool places all over the world, today he is 35 years of age and he tours the globe like he always did (the picture shows him performing this year in the German embassy of Marrocco).

With 9 years he began to play the piano and as a diplomat's son he moves from country to country. For a longer period he lived in London and in the US, today his hometown is Berlin. Lionel Haas is very much frequented as a sideman (with Mike Russell and blues legend Big Joe Turner) but also very successful as a leader of several own groups.

In his music you can hear influences of great Ray Charles: soulful and at the same time elegant and strong in his touch on the keys; Lionel Haas always burn up a piano firework.
