Luca Sestak is a phenomenon - pianist and composer may still be young, but he can already look back on a remarkable career: At the age of 11, he published his first videos of his piano playing on the Internet, which made him a young prodigy in the piano scene - today, he’s developed a mature artistic personality that has left this image far behind - already in his mid-20s, his music has taken him all over the world and brought him numerous awards.
With his new album Luca cleverly shows how Chopin becomes funky, Bach would play in a jazz club while making the piano sound like you never thought it could - sometimes even by preparing the instrument with tape or felt for his original compositions.
Luca and his trio know how to captivate their audience: With youthful joy of playing and much charm they move between jazz, classical, pop, blues & funk and connects the genres humorously, without taking themselves too seriously.
On a journey from fiery virtuosity, which not infrequently pushes the piano mechanics to their limit, to soulful minimalism, where every chord gets under your skin, goosebumps are guaranteed.
