Classically trained composer, sought after collaborator and 5 times Grammy award-winning pianist Bill Laurance has built a career uniquely blending genres of music that seem to be at stylistic opposites with each other. Laurance has been demonstrating his creativity and improvisation for many years as a founding member of Snarky Puppy. Recently, he released the highly acclaimed album "Where You Wish You Were" (ACT Music) together with Michael League. His latest release "Affinity" is a tribute to the jazz pianist Bill Evans and shows Laurance's striving for individual interpretations.
