Jazz | Erik Deutsch, Provocative Jazz Keyboardist


“Once upon a time, there was such a thing as an instrumental pop hit. If the charts still had room for the likes of the Allman Brothers' ‘Jessica’ and Herbie Hancock's ‘Rockit,’ not to mention the JB's and MG's, then Erik Deutsch would be assured a place atop them.” — Philadelphia City Paper Described by The New York Times as “a pianist with a taste for tuneful provocation,” jazz keyboardist Erik Deutsch has experimented with everything from prog-rock to psychedelia to country. A former member of the Charlie Hunter Trio, Deutsch and his accomplished backing band create genre-defying instrumental jams that encompass funk bass lines, countrified pedal steel guitar, and spaced-out experimental sounds.
