Hanz Monjardin

Jazz fusion is where Hanz Monjardin sits most comfortably, though R&B, rock, ballads and other contemporary material all get a run. Studying at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Sydney, and playing solo piano in bars, restaurants and cafes: standards, a bit of improvising, nothing that fights the conversation. In a band setting he'll play the group's material to whatever standard they ask for, still leaving room to stretch. One thing to know before you book. He plays whatever piano or keyboard is at the venue rather than bringing his own, so the instrument needs to be there.
