Jan Luley – a jazz musical all-rounder at the Scharwenka Cultural Forum

Piano with Soul, Story, and Swing Jan Luley, for the first time at the Scharwenka Cultural Forum: His concerts are a vibrant journey through jazz, blues, gospel, world music, and his own compositions. Sometimes light and playful, sometimes powerful and funky – but always soulful. Luley describes his style as "Contemporary New Orleans Piano" – a mix of tradition and contemporary spirit that transcends genre boundaries and continually surprises. With songs from the cradle of jazz and his own pieces, he develops a language that captivates both connoisseurs and new listeners. What particularly distinguishes Jan Luley is his sense of atmosphere. His concerts are not only musically engaging but also narratively compelling: anecdotes, historical insights, personal experiences – with charm and humor, he connects music and stories without ever coming across as didactic. Luley has performed over 2800 concerts in 18 countries and is known for his virtuosic piano arrangements that capture the spirit of New Orleans.
