Synopsis

Product Description
Klaus Janek is a master of contemporary classical and free jazz expression. His solo 5-string doublebass album "Caspar" is a milestone recording in recent European artistry. Born in Bolzano, Italy in 1969, Klaus Janek at an early age studied soprano and alto flute, going on to play trumpet, classical percussion and drums. He was soon involved in jazz and rock bands and began experimentations with improvised music. Since 1988 he has focused on mastering the doublebass. He has studied with Jaribou Shahib, Mauro Muraro and Ludwig Streicher, and taken part in workshops with Dave Holland, Butch Morris and Peter Kowald. Klaus has toured Europe regularly with concerts, theatre and dance-theatre performances. He has performed his "Caspar" solo concerts since 1994.
