This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

AND MORE...


Apart from his own band, he also worked in German TV as arranger and bandleader. In 1987 he was asked to be the musical director of the BundesJazzOrchester (known as BuJazzO).

Peter died in Cologne, Germany on March 27th, 2010. He was 74. I love many of his albums, because to me, they represent a very interesting mixture between jazz and rock. While the horn arrangements were jazzy, the rhythm section is rock, and I love hearing that.
