Celebrated British jazz pianist Jason Rebello was labelled a veteran by critics at 19 and over the next decade won most of the major jazz music awards.
“At 21, he’s probably the most gifted and fluent pianist to emerge in Britain since Django Bates”Neville Hadsley, Jazz FM 1990
“…..A Clearer View describes graceful crossover holding patterns, seeking not to challenge but to entertain. Rebello has created a series of compositions where he knows his musicians will be comfortable and can easily express themselves. It’s their shared values of craftsmanship that make this album work”WIRE magazine 1990
“..It is a brave, open & lyrical record which sees Rebello, now 23, cast his net wider than the Herbie Hancock inspired jazz-fusion which characterised his debut”Ekow Eshun OBSERVER 1993
“…At the best of times Gershwin’s “Rhapsodyin Blue” only hovers on classical music’s borders, but with Rebello as soloist it positively charges back into the world of Jazz. His was a brilliantly executed performance, technically faultless, overflowing with vitality, yet always imbued with a sense of relaxation.”Oldham Evening Chronicle 1993

“…No one has ever doubted that Rebello is possessed of a great pianistic gift - His great technical strengths, delicacy of touch, fluency of execution, a burnished, pellucid tone had been easily and naturally harnessed in the service of a lyrical immediately attractive melody imbued with an affecting, faintly melancholic earnestness”Chris Parker, ‘The Times’ 1999

“In terms of sheer ability and potential, Jason is probably the finest young jazz musician this country has produced. His playing has great poise and maturity, which is unusual in somebody so young.”Stuart Nicholson, author Jazz: The Modern Resurgence

It was a joy to listen to this fascinating and inspirational story. What a monster of talent this man is, yet he is so modest and unassuming. Thanks so much for sharing!

14:10 He did just get it. I heard Jason play when he was about 15 or 16, just jamming, and it was clear he was a natural. Quite scary talent at that age.

Yep!
