Jonathan FeBland (born October 19, 1960) trained at the Royal Academy of Music, London (1978-1982) and has written music in a wide range of different compositional styles, although there is usually some underlying tonality to his work. He has written contemporary serious music, light/educational music, and jazz in a number of different genres.
His work is published by Universal Edition and Sibelius Music. Louis Demetrius Alvanis will release FeBland's Piano Colours CD on the Meridian label in Spring, 2008. Deborah de Graaff (clarinet) has also been involved with CD recordings of FeBland's music; some of these are already proving popular with radio stations such as ABC Classic FM (Australia).
Recent compositions in the jazz idiom have included 12 Jazz Piano Pieces, 3 Jazz Etudes (for Piano) and a dynamic single-movement Jazz Symphony in 33 Grooves.
Since 2005 he has received music premières in Caracas, Sydney, Essen, Berlin, Bonn, Biarritz, Bilbao, Lucerne, London and Paris.
