Jean-Paul Brodbeck

At the tender age of 15, Basel, Switzerland–born Jean-Paul Brodbeck was invited by no other than Lionel Hampton to jam onstage. After taking jazz classes with Hans Feigenwinter, he went on to study classical music with Peter Efler (piano) at the Conservatory of Music in Basel, from which he graduated with excellence in 1995 and earned his piano teacher’s diploma.

Since then Brodbeck has proved his stylistic versatility in diverse formations. He was one of the principal founders of the experimental hip-hop gro up Chapter 12 and has been collaborating on and off with Andy Scherrer, who has considerably contributed to his musical development. From 2007 through 2010, Brodbeck was a member of the quartet headed by renowned Austrian guitar player Wolfgang Muthspiel. In May 2011, he toured with Johannes Enders's quartet, featuring the drum legend Billy Hart. These days, Brodbeck performs in trio with the Jean-Paul Brodbeck Group, plays piano and keyboards in the band of Swiss singer Seven, and teaches in the Jazz Department at the Conservatory of Music in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Brodbeck has performed with such artists as Lionel Hampton, Herbie Mann, Andy Scherrer, David Liebmann, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Nat Su, Daniel Schnyder, Nils Wogram, Matthieu Michel, Johannes Enders, and Billy Hart.
