Piano virtuoso Jason Beck is best known as Chilly Gonzales, his charismatic and entertaining alter-ego. Chilly Gonzales is as well known for his intimate approach to the piano through his Solo Piano  album trilogy as for his undeniable talents as a showman in concerts that combine his classical training with a natural comedic flair.

Chilly Gonzales sometimes invites his friends to take part in concerts - comedian and actor Peter Serafinowicz will be playing an opening set at the Royal Albert Hall.  He's the creator of comic legend Brian Butterfield and YT series Sassy Trump and he's working on a new show which imagines Elvis Presley singing the hits of today - so Elvis may very well be in the building. There will also be a special guest appearance from Jarvis Cocker

He has collaborated with the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Feist, Drake and Daft Punk. Leaving the light-heartedness of recent projects – like French Kiss - behind, GONZO  marks a comeback to his English language roots, with a nod to his adoptive country Germany. Brazen in its approach, GONZO  speaks openly about what’s been on this musical maverick’s mind without ever losing a sense of melody.
