Alex von Schlippenbach studied
classical composition with Bernd Alois Zimmermann at the
Hochschule Köln, at the same time he started working as
a jazz pianist with Gunter Hampel and Manfred Schoof. In
1966 he established the "Globe Unity Orchestra"
certainly one of the most influencial and successful
European jazz groups. With Globe Unity, Schlippenbach has
been invited to perform all over the world and achieved
numerous awards for his work as pianist, composer and
bandleader. Alexander von Schlippenbach always shared
great admiration for Thelonious Monk. Having collected
every piece of music, that Monk had ever written,
Schlippenbach now presents his favourite tunes. |
