Биография

New Orleans has always been a melting pot for a wide variety of nations. Here, different cultures are brought together in a very unique and special way. A mixture that finds it’s roots in the blues, that has been embraced by Creole music and that has played a role in shaping the genres swing and rock ’n’ roll. Singer and pianist Jan Luley has fully committed himself to this musical heritage. His love of Creole music and the piano styles of New Orleans is infectious; his music is like a gift, steeped in irrepressible energy, a subtle but witty playfulness and deep emotions, which he expresses through the keyboard in beautiful sounds. Jan Luley plays the music from the early days of jazz with virtuosity, expansiveness and a deep feeling for the blues. His own compositions merge with songs from the birthplace of jazz into a single lush, lively repertoire. He plays timeless music on the highest pianistic level that is at the same time an obeisance to the musical tradition of New Orleans in a refreshingly up-to-date transposition.
