- Bassist @ WDR Big Band Cologne, Discover Double Bass, Conservatorium Maastricht, NL
It's with a heavy heart that I announce that after 30 years with this incredible ensemble, I'm retiring from the WDR Big Band beginning in January, 2025. I'm not 'retiring' from music and bass playing by any means, but my work with the WDR Big Band will conclude to make way for a new bassist to take over the position.
It's a great job, and it's meant the world to me to be able to work with this world-class big band for the past three decades. I offer my love and respect for all the great musicians, conductors, arrangers, composers, guest soloists, and WDR staff (management and recording crew) who have shared this journey with me. When I first started playing bass in the '70s, my dream job was "studio jazz bassist"—and that's what I've had with the WDR Big Band since 1994.
So, spread the word! Applications are now open, and auditions will start at the beginning of 2025.
