Andreas Feith
Pianist and composer Andreas Feith (*1987) is currently one of the most sought-after jazz musicians of his generation in southern Germany. This is underscored by collaborations and concerts with artists such as Rick Margitza, Scott Robinson, Doug Weiss, Phil Donkin, Don Braden, and Adrian Mears, as well as Fabian Arends, Stefan Karl Schmid, Tobias Backhaus, Peter Gall, Moritz Baumgärtner, and many others. He is valued not only for his ability to provide sensitive and harmonically adept accompaniment. Above all, he captivates audiences with his uncompromising solo playing, built on a strong foundation rooted in tradition while always seeking the new, the spark of inspiration that springs from the moment.

While still completing his classical piano studies at a young age (which won him numerous awards), Andreas Feith increasingly deepened his passion for jazz and improvised music. After majoring in jazz piano at the Würzburg University of Music, he earned a Master of Music degree from the Cologne University of Music and Dance, which he completed with distinction in 2014. Since then, he has realized his musical visions in a wide variety of artistic projects, whether in his own quartet with Lutz Häfner, Martin Gjakonovski, and Silvio Morger—the band was also a finalist for the 2020 New German Jazz Prize—or in a permanent duo with his longtime collaborator Markus Harm.

He is also a permanent pianist in the award-winning Rebecca Trescher Tentett and a sought-after sideman, for example in the hr-Big Band, the Klaus Graf Quartet, and the Christoph Beck Quartet. In recent years, he has performed and toured in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, and Kyrgyzstan, and has appeared as a leader and sideman on over 15 albums. Since the winter semester of 2020, he has been teaching jazz piano and jazz theory at the Nuremberg University of Music.

"Blessed with a rhythmically strong left hand, pianist Andreas Feith presents a delightful album full of power and energy with his prominent quartet." - Jazzthetik - 2023

"Andreas Feith is a discovery - a musician who really has something to say, both as a player and as a writer. Excellently trained, harmonically profound, rhythmically very confident, melodically inventive - this record is a joy!" - WDR 3 - 2022
