| Herbert Joos born
March 21, 1940 in Karlsruhe (Germany).
Joos studied flugelhorn, trumpet and bass and
played also baritone- and alphorn.
In the first half of the 70ies he was member in
several Modern- and FreeJazz Bands and played at
Festivals as the "Free Jazz Meeting
Baden-Baden", The "Free Jazz Day" in Frankfurt
and at a Flugelhorn workshop with Kenny Wheeler,
Ian Carr, Harry Beckett and Ack van Rooyen. He
was also a leader of his own Quartet and
Orchestra. The most recognition he got as a
member of the "Vienna Art Orchestra". His warm
but powerful sound and the romantic
impressionistic influence in combination with
the affinity of free improvisations makes him to
an expressive profile of the European Jazz
landscape. |
