Marian Petrescu
Marian has played with many stars; Arturo Sandoval, Toots Thielemans, Al Jarreau, Didier Lockwood, Jon Larsen, Richie Beirach, Tony Williams, Ulf Wakenius, Ray Charles band, Lars Danielsson, Riccardo Del Fra, Ron McClure, Hot Club de Norvège, etc.
Today Marian has his own music school which provides both classical and jazz training and he is teaching at the conservatory. Marian's style is eclectic, and he enjoys all styles of jazz, from ragtime to modern.
Marian loves the piano. He treats the piano as a friend, a sparring partner and mistress. His mentor in Paris, Martial Solal, calls Marian the Horowitz of Jazz Piano, and his touch is distinct and clear as glass, obviously inspired by Oscar Peterson.
