Julia Kadel is a new pianist to be on the German scene. Blue Note has just released her second album. She will perform in the UK for the first time. Gunter was her teacher and she fits in well. She waited long for the opportunity to perform on the same stage with him. Richard Williams, who blogs at thebluemoment.com as well as Artistic Director for the Berlin Jazz Festival, introduced her to us at Vortex. We know that the German piano scene is thriving right now, thanks to the likes Pablo Held, Michael Wollny and Achim Kauffmann. Julia is deserving to be among them. From www.vortexjazz.co.uk
