Biography
Barbara Dennerlein (born 25 September 1964 in Munich, Germany), jazz musician, caused a revival of the Hammond organ’s popularity with her distinctive art of playing.
At age 11 and much to her surprise, Barbara received a simple electronic organ for Christmas. Soon after her first organ lesson she asked her parents for a bigger instrument with two manuals and pedals so she could learn organ playing properly. After one and a half years of lessons she decided to continue her learning process autodidactic and to develop her own, not to be imitated style. Public appearances were to follow soon and, during school vacation at only age 15, she was invited to play a professional concert date in a jazz club.
