About Barbara Dennerlein
Barbara Dennerlein is a German jazz organist. She has achieved critical acclaim for using the bass pedalboard on a Hammond organ and for integrating synthesizer sounds onto the instrument, and was described by critic Ron Wynn as "the most interesting jazz organist to emerge during the 1980s". When leading her own bands, Dennerlein was often the youngest musician in the group, and she learned to co-operate with more experienced musicians. She received two German Record Critics' awards for self-produced albums.
