Ed Bazel, an internationally acclaimed, award-winning pianist, composer, and founder of The River of Calm—Music to Soothe Your Soul online radio station, has been appointed the Worldwide Brand Ambassador for Kayserburg Pianos.
Originally from Huntington, West Virginia, Bazel was inspired to pursue music at seven after being captivated by The Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. He later studied under esteemed pianists such as Jay Flippin, Lou Levy, Joe Harnell, and Clare Fischer.
For over 20 years, Bazel performed as a solo pianist at exotic locations and societal events worldwide, including the Beverly Hills Country Club and the Ritz-Carlton in Los Angeles. Bazel’s four critically well-received albums include the recent “The London Sessions: Reflections From Studio 2,” recorded at the iconic Abbey Road studio made famous by his childhood heroes. He is also a veteran producer of corporate events for Fortune 500 companies, working with an extensive list of concert artists, comedians, and speakers in over 25 countries. The Los Angeles Times named him “The Marco Polo of Modern Music” for his groundbreaking work in China.
Recently, Bazel was honored at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards (HIMA), where his song “Soaring” won Best Instrumental Song, and at the InterContinental Music Awards (ICMA), where it won Best Contemporary Instrumental. His online music channel reaches listeners worldwide, promoting hundreds of independent pianists, vocalists, guitarists, and more, playing soulful music.
“We’re thrilled to have Ed Bazel carry forward the Kayserburg story as our Worldwide Brand Ambassador,” said Pearl River’s Global Director of Sales & Marketing, Leng Tshua. “Not only is he an accomplished pianist and composer, but his community outreach—whether it’s providing headphones with healing music to people undergoing chemotherapy or composing music to help the autistic find their singing voice—meshes perfectly with the Kayserburg brand.”
The Kayserburg line reflects Pearl River’s goal to create the world’s finest pianos. Entirely handmade from 8,000 perfectly matched components by skilled artisans who are closely supervised and trained by Swiss master piano technician Stephen Mohler, Kayserburg represents the ultimate expression of German craftsmanship.
