The Swiss pianist & composer Thierry Lang was born in 1956 in Romont, a little town in the Canton of Fribourg. He studied classical music with great success until he was 21, even if jazz had fascinated him since the very beginning. As a fifteen year old, he first heard the pianist Bill Evans who would influence his thinking for many years to come. Inspired by this music, Thierry Lang found the perfect link between classical & piano jazz which rapidly became the characteristic of his own musical expression. As a talented composer with a great sense of melody, he rapidly established himself as a master in this domain. He discovered jazz by listening to famous pianists, quickly having a clear influence on the young pianist.
During a US tour in 1996, he met Jim Beach (manager of Queen) who subsequently became his own manager. Thanks to this collaboration, Thierry Lang became the first Swiss musician to sign an artist’s contract with the famous label Blue Note. His tours and his recordings have made him famous all around the world. Among other prizes, in 1999 and 2000 he was awarded “pianist of the year“ by Jazz’n'More magazine.
Thierry Lang has played and recorded with the most prestigious musicians including: Ray Anderson, Billy Cobham, Paolo Fresu, Johnny Griffin, George Gruntz, Heiri Känzig, David Linx, Didier Lockwood, Andy Pupato, Alvin Queen, Toots Thielemans, Richard Galliano, Tina Turner, Dino Saluzzi, Andreas Vollenweider, Pierre Favre, Art Farmer & many more.
