Jazz am Helmholtzplatz e.V. presents

The Dutch pianist and singer Pia Beck (1925-2009) was one of the most popular jazz musicians in Europe in the 1950s. Born in The Hague in 1925, she began playing the piano as a child.



After her first performances during the war years, she became a pianist and singer in the Miller Sextet in 1945, touring Europe and Indonesia. In 1949, she founded her own trio and landed a hit with "Pia's Boogie," which sold hundreds of thousands of copies and became her trademark.
