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.

    Hey Carl, Thanks you ever so much, for such kind new year wishes; it can only get better from here. yeah, my first concert this year was with Max Schultz, a very fine swedish guitar player, (who just won an award for best guitarist in Europe), and man it was such great fun playing. This is certainly the direction I would like my year to go in.

    I also wish you all the very best in whatever projects you're  gonna be doing, as well. And in your personal life too. :-)

    Stay cool man.
