Brian Kellock was a musician who spent much of his time in recent years travelling between Glasgow and Edinburgh but his reputation as a pianist stretched across the world.
Americans including saxophonists Herb Geller and Scott Hamilton, trumpeter Warren Vaché and clarinettist Ken Peplowski admired Kellock’s resourceful sensitivity as an accompanist, as did singers, Sheila Jordan, Fionna Duncan, Carol Kidd, Liane Carroll and Tina May.
Kellock was also a regular at Copenhagen Jazz Festival, where he appeared with singers Cathrine Legardh and Mads Mathias and guitarist Jacob Fischer, and he had a following in Australia through his work with local multi-instrumentalist James Morrison and the impression he made there with Scottish blues singer Tam White.
