Selmer Super Balanced Action Alto Sax & Selmer Mark VI Tenor Sax For Sale .. .. I was born and raised in the Black Forest (Germany). School, musical society, first steps in various bands. At the end of the 80s professional saxophone player for 1 year in the air force band Karlsruhe. This experience was one reason for my decision to become a professional musician. From 1989 to 1994 studies at the Swiss Jazz School at Bern (Switzerland) with Andy Scherrer a good basis to go further. In 1992, when Imet the master of the Blues Sidney Guitar Crusher Selby, I got the first opportunity to go on tour with a professional band. At that time he was accompanied by the Cadillac Blues Band from Freiburg. This project taught me to play and live the Blues. Later I toured across Germany with Guitar Crusher playing with Blues bands from Dortmund and Berlin. Black Cat Bone from Tübingen finally became Guitar Crusher..s accompanying band. By that time I had already been playing together with the Blues singer for 10 years. We gave concerts on numberless stages all over Europe with international stars such as Ricky Lawson, Calvin Owens, Alvin Lee etc. and made recordings. After having passed the diploma examination at Bern I had my first contact to the musician Jürgen Waidele from Constance. The Bodensee region became my second home. I entered the band Waidele..s Conversation, a cult band with funky songs composed by the ingenious band leader. In addition I was member in the Golden Four Quintet, a dance and party band. Although I never intended to make this kind of music I realized that I could enlarge my muscial horizon which at least was as important as my study. I had to meet the requirements to play solo parts in many different music styles and to prove a stylistic flexibility while maintaining my individual style with the equal use of soprano, alto and tenor sax. After that CD productions with different bands and musicians such as Franco Ambrosetti and Peter Herbolzheimer in the field of Jazz or Ex-Rolling Stone Mick Taylor in the Bluesrock sector. In January 1998 I first met the American saxophonist Bob Malach whom I had admired already for a long time. During many many common hours at Zürich and New York he showed me his way to work. Bob Malach reated in me the huge motivation to go on working and not to content myself with my achievements. Presently we are preparing a common didactic work. I have recorded or played with: Ack Van Rooyen, Peter Herbolzheimer, Joo Kraus, Alvin Lee, Guitar Crusher, Mick Taylor, Bert Joris, Wolfgang Haffner, James Moody, Franko Ambrosetti, Juergen Waidele, Dizzy Krisch, Ivo Antognini, Chris Farlowe, Steve Baker, Tom Novy, Samstagabendshow-TV-Orchester, Nubya, Göla, Sandra Studer, Maya Brunner, Polo Hofer, Lokua Kanza, So Kalmery, Henri Dikongué, Thomas Stabenow, Jason Wright, Florian Silbereisen, Patrick Lindner, Helene Fischer, Thomas Kiessling, Schwesterherz, DJ-Ötzi, Volker Bengel, Monika Martin, Nino DeAngelo, Wesley G, Mel Gayner, ...I endorse:P.Mauriat Saxophones and JodyJazz Mouthpieces
