Soul Mama presents Jonny Liebeck Quintet
Born and raised in West London, Jonny started his musical life playing the Church Organ at Mass every Sunday from the age of 13. During his late teen years, although progressing rapidly as an organist, Jonny started teaching himself jazz piano.
A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music & Trinity Laban, Jonny gigs all over London and has performed at many London venues (Royal Albert Hall, Pizza Express & Bush Hall to name a few). In 2019, he played keyboards for Mica Paris at The Round Chapel, Clapton and performed with Cuban jazz violinist Omar Puente at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival & the Southbank Centre.
Jonny has led his own band for the past 6 years releasing numerous albums/EPs under his name, his most recent 'Influences' EP released in January 2025. As a composer & band leader, he has performed at Pizza Express Soho, 606 Club, 91 Living Room, Hampstead Jazz Club, Crazy Coqs, The Bear Club, The East Side Jazz Club & Jazz Cafe Posk amongst many other London venues.
Drawing from his roots in classical and jazz music, Jonny’s sound is also heavily influenced by electronic dance music genres such as house, jungle & breakbeat, as well as latin jazz & funk, and he blends these influences together in his writing, creating a very interesting and unique sound.
