Rainer Böhm
Rainer Böhm has been recognized by critics as one of the outstanding German jazz pianists for years. In 2016, he not only won the perhaps most prestigious award in German jazz, the Neuer Deutscher Jazzpreis, with the Bastian Jütte Quartet but also the soloist prize. Böhm is also known as a long-time member of the trio led by Germany's exceptional bassist, Dieter Ilg. The success of their celebrated and award-winning jazz interpretations of classical composers like Verdi, Wagner, Beethoven, and Bach can also be attributed to his piano playing. He is among those who transcend genres, where classical and jazz are not opposing forces but perfectly complementing poles in the central task of conveying emotions through music.
