The music of pianist and composer Rolf Zielke is a reflection of Contemporary Jazz, Latin and Brazilian Jazz and music of the ‘Middle East’. Since the mid-eighties, Rolf Zielke has been an active member of the international jazz scene, presenting his own projects or accompanying renowned artists such as Charlie Mariano. Through years of intensive concert touring in Germany, Europe, Asia, Africa and the USA he has developed an individual but international sound. ‘The listener experiences piano-trio-jazz of the highest order: Zielke, winner of many awards and a man who has worked with musicians of many cultures, presents four top-class compositions of his own (…) this brilliant performance is an exciting masterpiece from beginning to end.’ (Jazzpodium) Concerts / Recordings with: Charlie Mariano, Thomas Quasthoff, David Friedman, Mike Stern, Ed Motta, Peter Weniger, Ed Schuller, Bireli Lagrene, Jiggs Whigham, Benny Baily, Red Holloway, Mack Goldsbury, Krzesimir Debski, Stacy Kent, Judy Niemack, Sergej Starostin (“Moskow Art Trio"), Kaigal-Ool Khovalig (“Hun Huur Tu"), Nahawa Doumbia, Urna Chahar-Tugchi, Eda Zari, “RIAS" Big Band Berlin, Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin, Dresdner Sinfoniker Concert Tours: USA (New York, Texas, Florida, Washington DC), Kuba (Havanna), Mexico City, Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, Afrika (Algerien, Kamerun), Asien (China, Turkey, Aserbaidschan, Jordan, Irak), concerts in London, Madrid, Zürich, Basel, Rom, Warschau, St. Petersburg, Budapest, Istanbul
