Tell us about yourself
I am a jazzmusician for over 50 years and still active.
Since 1975 I run my own jazzgroup named "jazzcommunity". First in germany than back home in switzerland and since 1983 "milano jazzcommunity-concert band" with italian musicians.

I starded my career 1962 in Paris and worked four years as house drummer of paris jazz club "le chat qui peche"
During that time I was privileged to work with many famous american musicians. These valuable experiance stimulated me to go to america intensifying my studies in jazzmusic.
Back in europe I traveled all over the continent with the milano jazzcommunity and as freelancer.
Today I live partly in switzerland and portugal on the island of madeira.

    Hi Carl,

    Good to meet you.   I would like to play for a living.  I am still working on it.  I am working on a model of a musicians co-op that will provide some financial support.  I let you know more as it develops.
