Is That So? (1992)

"If someone wanted to compile a "Who's Who" of European jazz music, the pianist and composer Klaus Ignatzek would certainly deserve an especially extensive entry in it. There is a definitely good reason for the critics continually considering him to be among the leading keyboard artists of this continent and for his numerous CD and LP recordings having received excellent reviews down the line. No matter whether he plays solo or in quintet, Ignatzek always succeeds in arousing his audience's enthusiasm, thanks to his richly nuanced performance on the piano in connection with the original compositions. Klaus Ignatzek, born in 1954, has been rated as belonging to the leading pianists of the European Jazz scene in recent years. As a pianist, composer and bandleader he acquired international recognition and acknowledgement by his audience as well as his critics. His brillant skill, his distinct style and energizing inspiration characterize his music. (Klaus Ignazek).
