A wanderer between worlds, between tradition and avant-garde, is the multi-award-winning pianist Jan Gerdes. With his new GENUIN album, he more than lives up to his reputation as an intrepid musical adventurer: he releases exciting, contemporary piano music by six composers from different countries on the African continent. Names like Clare Loveday, Andile Khumalo or Bongani Ndodana-Breen urgently deserve our attention! With his brilliant recordings, Gerdes contributes to a new focus that the increasingly internationalized music scene needs – top marks for interpretation and repertoire value!
