Roger Kellaway


Roger Kellaway – Grammy Award winner and Academy Award nominated Pianist/Composer, has recorded more than two hundred and fifty albums. He’s worked with everyone from Ellington to Elvis, Joni Mitchell to Barbra Streisand, and Quincy Jones to Yo-Yo Ma.

Kellaway is not only a major pianist, he is a composer of protean ability, writing in the music fields of jazz, classical and “pop”, also scoring for films and television. Some as “crossover”, “chamber jazz” and describes Roger’s acclaimed “Cello Quartet” albums by others as the beginning of “New Age” music.

They were the first in an eclectic array of projects beginning in the 1960’s. Roger’s commissions include a ballet for George Balanchine and the New York City Ballet, orchestral pieces for the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the National Symphony, the New American Orchestra, and a variety of chamber works for Carnegie Hall.

Roger fell in love with the piano at the age of 7 and began studying. By the time he was 12, he was already listening equally to jazz and classical music and decided that he wanted to spend his life in music.
