MICHEL REIS
“Brilliant young pianist and composer Michel Reis weaves a beautiful story that delights and enchants young and old beyond the realms of Jazz...”

Having just released his second album entitled Fairytale, Michel is currently performing in duo with saxophonist Aaron Kruziki with whom he also recorded the album. Crystal-clear compositions and sweeping melodies bring out the dreamy yet complex quality of his music.

In 2005 the promising young talent was awarded 4th place in the First Moscow Competition for Jazz Performs (Piano) and in 2006 he won 2nd prize at the Montreau Jazz Solo Piano Competition. Around this time he also released his first album entitled A Young Mind

One of very few European students to be awarded a scholarship at Berklee College of Music, the 27 year old has just completed his Master of Music Degree in Jazz Piano at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. He has toured and continues to play throughout Europe, the USA and Japan in several formations including his own trio, the Nir Naaman Quartet, the Alex Terrier Quartet – High Groovin’, and with Gast Waltzing his band Largo. Michel has also performed with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and Didier Lockwood.
