Scottish jazz pianist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Kellock (born 1962) is a Scottish jazz pianist.
Born in Edinburgh, Kellock graduated with a B Music (Hons) from the University of Edinburgh in 1986. Since then, he has been establishing his position as one of the top piano players in the UK jazz scene, working with Herb Geller, Sheila Jordan, and Art Farmer.[1]
From 1995, Kellock has been a member of Australian trumpeter James Morrison's Band.[2]
His main project is his own Trio, which first appeared as the rhythm section for seminal Scottish band, the John Rae Collective,[2] since 1988. This line-up, featuring Kenny Ellis on bass and John Rae on drums, has been performing together ever since. In 1998, the band released their first recording together – Something's Got To Give – a set of standards popularised by Fred Astaire.[1]
Some of Kellock's popular songs played include: "You Must Believe in Spring," "Rhapsody in Blue," "The Way You Look Tonight," "Tokyo Express," "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow," "Lennies Pennies," "In the Bleak Midwinter," and "Young and Foolish."[3]
