Paul Bernewitz
Paul Bernewitz is a young jazzpianist and composer from Germany. Based in Nuremberg, the 25-year-old not only arranges for bands, he writes poetry, art songs, chamber music, choral works and even edits a literary magazine. Coming from a family of musicians, he enjoyed a first-class musical education in the St. Thomas Boys Choir of Leipzig/Germany, where he also sang as a soloist. Early on, while learning classical piano literature, he felt the desire to write his own music. Inborn in him: the love of improvisation. Since the age of 18, he has written over 60 piano miniatures. In these studies, which are like landmarks for him, his sound ideal is already stored like a broth cube. His unique pianistic sound culture is characterized by harmonic complexity, intense songfulness and a breathtaking intimacy. There is something unconditional, compelling and at the same time immensely vulnerable in it, which touches us in our innermost being.
