Brian Kellock is recognised as a stellar piano talent across the world by musicians and singers such as James Morrison, Sheila Jordan, Madeline Eastman and Michael Moore. Equally at home with mainstream and contemporary jazz styles, Brian plays in the Oscar Peterson/ Monty Alexander genre that is closest to his heart. His first trio album, Something's Got To Give, recorded in 1998, is a wonderful CD that shows off Kellock and his trio at their best in a fantastic set of standards popularised by Fred Astaire.

Born in 1962 in Edinburgh, Brian graduated with a B. Music (Hons) from Edinburgh University in 1986. Since then, he has established his position as one of the top piano players on the UK jazz scene and throughout the world, working with such luminaries as Red Rodney, Mark Murphy, Art Farmer, Charlie Rouse, Bill Watrous, Scott Hamilton, Julian Arguelles, Fionna Duncan, Stanley Turrentine, Herb Geller and many others.

In 1995, Brian was a member of Australian trumpet wizard James Morrison's Band; touring all over Europe and Australia, and recording a live album for Warner Bros at the New Morning Club in Paris, along the way. His main project is his own Trio, which first appeared as the rhythm section for seminal Scottish band, the John Rae Collective, as long ago as 1988. This line-up, featuring Kenny Ellis on bass and John Rae on drums, have been performing together ever since and has won them many fans.

"Live at Henry's" was released in July 2001 and received rave reviews and BBC Jazz Award accolades.

"...his adaptability and quick-thinking musicality again confirmed him as a player who can command the world stage.” Rob Adams, The Herald
