JazzGarten is the name of my Jazzquintet which I founded in 2002 here in Bremen, North-Germany and since 2008 it is also the name of my homerecording-project. Most of these own compositions I loaded up to MYOWNMUSIC.DE, a music-platform like SOUNDCLICK. I am not a professionial musician. In the age of 14 years I learned the guitar by myself and founded in 1983 a New-Wave-Band. Later I changed from Band-Projects to Homerecording with a friend who played guitar, wrote lyrics and played bass. More than 17 years we met every sunday and recorded our own music-pieces. Since 1991 I changed the instrument and learned to play keyboards. In 1995 I bought a tenorsaxophon and studied it by myself. In the last 7 years I began to sing jazzstandards in my jazzquintet, began to study clarinet with a teacher. Since 2008/2009 I started to record compositions of italian popsongs (The Four Seasons - Lyrics from an unknown author of the 18th century. You can hear them on MYOWNMUSIC.DE). They are my first own vocal-compositions. Also I discovered the beauty of romantic poems of the 19th century (Storm, Geibel, Schiller, Puschkin, Lenau etc.) and set these poems into my own form of pop-music (also to hear at MOM.DE).
