Wolfert Brederode

Artist Website
Dutch pianist Wolfert Brederode, who was born in 1974, studied classical and jazz piano at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. He has worked as a performer and composer since 1996. His touch is a poetic one – appropriate, given his ongoing collaboration with singer Susanne Abbuehl, who is well-known for setting poetry to music. Brederode has played a central role on Abbuehl's ECM discs and also wrote some of the music for her debut, April.
 
Brederode’s first disc as leader for ECM, Currents, saw the pianist lead a pan-European quartet of similarly gifted young players who had grown up listening to ECM.

Brederode’s first disc as leader for ECM, Currents, saw the pianist lead a pan-European quartet of similarly gifted young players who had grown up listening to ECM. Jazzman (France) praised it as “chamber music with a poetic, melancholy atmosphere”. This 2007 debut was followed in 2011 by Post Scriptum, an album that features the same line-up of Claudio Puntin (clarinet), Mats Eilertsen (bass) and Samuel Rohrer (drums). All About Jazz called it “beautifully meditative, often mesmeric and unfailingly melodic”.
 
Brederode’s quiet, patient, reflective music has also attracted the attention of theatre directors and choreographers in Holland. As a sideman he has collaborated with international musicians including Dave Liebman, Jeanne Lee, Arve Henriksen, Trygve Seim, Wolfgang Puschnig and many others.
