About the concert
Béla Meinberg, piano Thorbjørn Stefansson, bass Jordan Dinsdale, drums
Béla Meinberg lives in Berlin and balances between Straight Ahead, Free Improvisation and various other styles. The idea of being able to produce serious music with a certain amount of nonsense drove him to decide early on for the profession of jazz musician. Béla has already been able to work with great musicians, such as: Billy Hart, Seamus Blake, Matt Penman, Chris Cheek, Doug Weiss or John Stowell.
Béla was a scholarship holder of the Oscar and Vera Ritter Foundation and winner of the first Steinway Award for Jazz Piano Solo. In 2017 he won third place at the Yamaha Jazz Piano Competition in Nuremberg, which is open throughout Germany, and in 2018 he reached 2nd place with the David Grabowski Quartet. Place of 40 applicants at the “Jungen Münchener Jazzpreis”.
