Jermaine Landsberger, born in 1973 in southern Germany, comes from a very music-loving Sinti family and grew up with the music of the legendary Django Reinhardt. But unlike Reinhardt, Landsberger opted for the piano when choosing his instrument. He initially played in various gypsy ensembles, but soon became increasingly interested in American jazz.
In 1996 he founded his piano trio, with which he recorded his first album in 1997. This was followed shortly afterwards by the album “Gipsy Feeling”, recorded with Bireli Lagrene, and in 2002 by an album as a sideman in the formation “Gypsy Journey” by Scottish guitarist Martin Taylor, with whom he gave numerous concerts in England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain and Germany in the following years.
In addition to the piano, Landsberger is also a virtuoso on the Hammond B3 organ. In 2006, he founded the trio “Hammond Eggs”.

In 2009, George Klabin, President of “Resonance Records” became aware of Jermaine and produced his US debut album “Gettin Blazed” in Beverly Hills with a US all-star line-up: Pat Martino, Harvey Mason, James Genus, etc. Landsberger also caused a sensation in the USA. “Gettin Blazed” was in the top 10 of the “Radio Jazz Charts Jazzweek” for eight weeks.

Landsberger and his partners Paulo Morello and Christoph Huber released the second “Hammond Eggs” album with Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer and Tony Lakatos in 2013 under the title “Back in the Pan”. Guitarist Larry Coryell, who wrote the liner notes for this album, was so impressed by Jermaine’s playing that he formed a classical guitar-organ trio with Landsberger. This was followed by extensive, successful tours together.

In 2014, Landsberger was invited to Hamburg as a guest for the CD production of Giovanni Weiss and his band “Django Deluxe & NDR Bigband”. In 2017, Landsberger worked as a pianist, co-producer and arranger on the recording of “Souvenir de Paris”, the album by up-and-coming violinist Sandro Roy. Stochelo Rosenberg and Jermaine Landsberger recently released their joint album “Gypsy Today” in 2020.

Today, Jermaine Landsberger is a musical citizen of the world and at home on international stages. His interpretations are characterized by enormous enthusiasm and intensity. Thanks to his departures from tradition and his powerful and melodic piano playing, he has long since established himself as a style-defining pianist on the European gypsy scene.

Landsberger’s latest album “With Heart And Soul” with New York drummer Donald Edwards and Philadelphia-born bassist Daryll Hall was released in November 2022
