Biography:

Barbara, born in Munich in 1964, discovered her instrument at age 11, whene an organ was the Christmas gift she received from her parents who where enthusiastic about jazz. Only a few years later, 15 year old Barbara performed regularly in local jazz clubs. After high school she started her career as a professional musician and soon became one of Germany's top jazz artists and one of the leading organ players on both sides of the Atlantic. Sold-out concerts and a lot of prizes and poll awards show Barbara's popularity and high critical acclaim. She has been voted number 1 organ player (TDWR) by Down Beat and received the German Critics' Award twice, but most important to her is the growing number of fans who are taken by Barbara's thrilling music and natural charms. Barbara's versatile and virtuosic playing is rooted in the mainstream of jazz: blues, swing, and bebop, but representing the younger generation her music combines further modern directions in a mixture of swinging straight-ahead jazz, groovy funk, Latin pulse, soulful ballads, and all kinds of blues. Especially in her own tunes, she takes excursions to new musical worlds, including the avantgarde. As well as developing her own unmistakeable musical style, Barbara also opens up new technical perspectives for the organ. Combining (via MIDI) the legendary sound of the Hammond B 3 with samplers and synthesizers, Barbara makes sound constellations possible which are absolutely unique, and makes good use of them in her compositions. Written especially for the organ, her own tunes explore a multitude of sounds, rhythms, and harmonies, showing a high degree of inspiration, feeling, drive and groove. It has always been a special experience to see Barbara Dennerlein's brilliant technique live in action. When, at a breathtaking speed her foot is tap-dancing precisely on the bass pedals or even both feet fill in a "bass solo" in a quite acrobatic way, Barbara regularly meets with astonishment and incredulity. At the same time, she is playing on both organ manuals and pushes and slides her sounds, programs and volumes. As hands and feet work almost independente from each other, Barbara's technique never blocks the flow and facility of her playing
