Tim Allhoff

When audiences and critics speak about Tim Allhoff, they all sound euphoric. There is talk of the “piano shooting star of the Republic (of Germany)” (JazzThing) or the “most important newcomer of Germany’s jazz scene”. And yet, Allhoff, born in 1980, completed classical piano studies before turning to jazz piano at the Richard-Strauß-Conservatory in Munich. With his growing passion for jazz he gathered experiences in many different formations and earned his reputation across Europe: Concerts and tours brought him i.a. to France, England, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland. He has played the Rheingau Music Festivel, the Elbjazz-Festival or the Palatia Jazz Festival and many more. Additionally he has worked with icons like Nils Landgren, Larry Grenadier, Johannes Enders, Dieter Ilg and Tony Lakatos. He has arranged and composed music for stage and film (“Das letzte Schweigen”, 2009) and was musical director from 2009 to 2011 at Ingolstadt Theater. His extraordinary talent is mirrored in his many awards: The pianist was awarded the Bavarian advancement award of the arts (2013), the jazz award of Ingolstadt and the advancement award of the arts of Augsburg. As if that weren’t enough: In 2008 he founded his own trio together with award-winning bassist Andreas Kurz, and Bastian Hütte, one of Germany’s jazz scene’s most versatile drummers. These two earned their experiences on international stages and festivals next to stars like Johannes Enders, Jamie Cullum, Michael Wollny or Klaus Doldinger. The trio’s debut album “Prelude” (2010) was awarded the ECHO JAZZ as “National newcomer of the year”. In the same year the band won the “New German Jazz award”. In 2012 the Tim Allhoff Trio presented its eagerly-awaited second Album “Hassliebe”, which earned Bastian Hütte the ECHO JAZZ 2013 as “drummer of the year”. In the meanwhile the trio became firmly established in Germany’s jazz scene and plays all the popular clubs and festivals (i.a. Jazzfestival Burghausen, Rheingau Musikfestival, Elbjazz)
