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.
