For more than 50 years Erich Kleinschuster, the native of Graz has not only characterized the history of jazz in Austria as a soloist, composer, arranger and bandleader, it already as a longtime director of the ORF entertainment music / production department as well as a music teacher, he has decisively influenced subsequent music genres. A literary trombone - as Andre Heller once described his friend Erich Kleinschuster.
But
first, the jazz professor was actually a doctor. As a professional jazz musician,
he decided not to make a decision until 1958 when he was invited to the
"International Youth Band" at the "Newport Jazz Festival".
There he met jazz greats such as Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley and Louis
Armstrong, with whom he even shared the stage.
In
1966, he founded the Erich Kleinschuster Sextet - and soon gained international
recognition, not to mention his popularity in Austria. In 1971, Kleinschuster
founded the "ORF Big Band", which he was responsible for 10 years. In
1969, he founded the Jazzinstitut at the Vienna Conservatory, in 1985 the jazz
department at the Carinthian Conservatory, and in 1981 he was full professor at
the Graz University of Performing Arts.
When
it comes to providing jazz with the right value, Erich Kleinschuster is always
at the forefront. After all, there is the audience - this has proved once again
its successful festival "Jazzsommer Graz", and if he wants to retire
as its director now, that does not mean that he wants to be quieter. (Ö1
