Barbara Dennerlein

In 1979, Barbara (* 1964 in München) started her international career as an organ player, at the age of 15. Ten years later, Barbara achieved the big breakthrough with concerts all over the world. She shows her outstanding talent on several albums on which guys like Bob Berg, Ray Anderson, Dennis Chambers, Mitch Watkins, Andy Sheppard, Roy Hargrove, Lonnie Plaxico and Don Alias join her. The Hammond has always been her favourite instrument, and certainly she is one of the most exciting young jazz organ players in the world.
