Career Overview

About Uri Gincel

Gincel's official piano biography identifies Berlin as his home and documents mentorship with Arnie Lawrence, an America-Israel Cultural Foundation prize, touring, and a recurring Zig Zag Jazz Club residency. His trio catalog is built with bassist Andreas Lang and drummer Moritz Baumgärtner.[1]

A separate artist page documents Gincel's electric work on analog synthesizers, keyboards, and effects, including Bonaparte and Lovebirds. Together the two sides of his site distinguish the piano trio from electro-punk, techno, house, and funk collaborations.[1][2]
