Der Allgemeinarzt erzählt, dass er gerne in der Freizeit Jazztrompete bläst. Ursprünglich war er als Cellist ausgebildet und erweiterte die von ihm empfundenen Grenzen der Klassik im Jazz. Er komponierte eigene Stücke und Arrangements. Er spielte in einem Sextett !Alive! und in der BigBand Jazz Association Orchester. Durch die Freundschaft mit Ack can Rooyen spezialisierte er sich mit dem Flügelhorn.
Whenever my profession leaves some time, I take my trumpet and play jazz. Originally educated as a cello player, I soon felt the borders of classical music too close. I needed more freedom to express myself, to play my own music, to create chorusses, arrangements and compositions and to play “dirty” notes when I wanted. So jazz has become my passion for almost 40 years. I play by myself, in a sextett !ALIVE!, in a Big Band Jazz Association Orchestra or in a piano/flugelhorn duo. Being influenced by the great Dutch flugelhorn player Ack van Rooyen I am glad to live in a deep friendship with him for many years. So the flugelhorn became more and more my favorite instrument, furthermore due to it’s smoothness and warm tone, especially when playing ballads.
