Sebastian Gahler

Sebastian Gahler – known for his melodic Modern Jazz pieces – is a highly acclaimed, award-winning pianist, keyboardist and composer. Several stays in the USA have influenced his style at an early stage of his career. He graduated with honors from the Cologne University of Music. Today, his trio is an integral part of the German jazz scene. In this formation he released three albums: „Meditation“, „Trust“, „Down The Street ft. Wolfgang Engstfeld“. He has played at many festivals – most recently he was invited to be the artist of residence at the International Jazzfestival Viersen, Germany. „Two Moons – inspired by the works of Haruki Murakami“ is Gahler's first concept album, celebrating one of the great writers of our time. For this project, he is joined by his excellent colleagues Denis Gäbel (sax), Matthias Akeo Nowak (bass) and Ralf Gessler (drums). Gahler is on the board of one of Germany´s most important Jazz clubs, Jazz-Schmiede, and he leads several concert series in Düsseldorf. He cares a lot about a lively music scene in his hometown.
