It's been 30 years since nine-year old Nils Gessinger first amazed a crowd of 400 guests with his piano performance. Today, the twelve-piece "Nils Gessinger Band" fills concert halls at international Jazz festivals and charms audiences with impressive sounds and incredible lyrics. Nils reached international recognition with the hit "Angel" (Indonesian Radio Charts). A career of such status usually requires some luck, but not this success story. Nils received his first classical lessons from his grandfather. Later, at his brother's disco, Nils was introduced to Funk and Soul music. However, his love for the "blue notes" originated at his parents' Jazz club. Having played with numerous bands from southern Germany, Nils studied "Jazz & Classics" under Prof. Dr. Dieter Glawischnig at the Hamburg Academy of Music and Theater. During that time the passionate motorcyclist established himself in Hamburg's music scene. Fellow artists Dee Dee Bridgewater, Inga Rumpf, The Platters, Georg Danzerand the Three Degrees appreciate his musical sensitivity and incredible virtuosity. The NDR BigBand (North German Radio Big Band) hired him for numerous studio- and live- productions. At the present time, Nils is the conductor and leader of Hamburg's State Youth Jazz Orchestra "Jazzessence". Under his leadership Jazzessence has recorded 4 CDs (amongst others with Bob Mintzer and Herb Geller,). In addition to his impressive solo career, Nils established himself in the world of show biz.
