Invest in Bavaria event @ Audi Forum NYCMonday, 16 January 2012With the mission to organize this event I was given an opportunity to create a little illustration of the cultural nexus between Bavaria (where I was born and raised) and America. In history and at present, there exists a remarkable number of examples of mutually enriching exchange between both cultures. All participating exhibitors and contributors stand for cross-cultural cooperation, creation and construction. AUDI, the SoHo team of Munich-based internationally acclaimed light designer Ingo Maurer, Neue Galerie’s Cafe Sabarsky, and last but not least of course a Jazz quartet consisting of 2 musicians from Bavaria, and 2 from America. There will be Florian Hoefner on piano, Nick Anderson on drums, myself on bass, and since Rich caught a flu, Gordon Au on trumpet. As a set opener we will play Gertrude’s Bounce by Clifford Brown. |

Further, I have started to write new music, and we are going to work on another album. Read more... | Sounds, Images and OpinionsThursday, 03 November 2011 |
Caffe Vivaldi on 9/11/11Sunday, 18 December 201110 years ago I climbed the twin towers of "Sagrada Familia" on my first day in Barcelona on 9/11 2001. Back on the ground I saw the horrid news about what had happened to the twin towers in New York and I watched the second plane hit live. I would never have thought then that I would end up living in New York City ten years later. It may very well be a coincidence that I have a performance scheduled at Caffe Vivaldi on 9/11 2011. | Summer Dates, New Live Tracks And Jazzpodium Review Of "Flights Falls"Saturday, 20 August 2011
