Clara Haberkamp, piano/vocals

Clara Haberkamp describes herself as a genre-open pianist and composer. Hailed as “one of the most distinctive pianists on the German jazz scene” (DLF radio), she has recently made waves internationally with her latest record “Plateaux” (TYXart, TXA24184), blending jazz, classical, and new music—direct, intimate, unmistak-ably her own, and occasionally adding her voice as another color to connect with the listener.
Her solo piano album LOVE MAPS (including also two Vocal Tracks – # 04 and 10) is a masterpiece of navigation—a crafted sonic map that bridges diverse musical genres with nuanced improvisation. Familiar pieces and her own compositions are reimagined through her unique and deeply personal perspective.
"LOVE MAPS is an enthralling album, and each one of its ten tracks has something in it to surprise and delight the listener, and in a different way each time.
This album should not only encourage listeners to go and hear Clara Haberkamp in a live recital, its ten fascinatingly different tracks also open up the prospect of many different new avenues for her to explore further in the future." — Sebastian Scotney
