Finn Ziegler has died

[Victor Christensen]

Danish Violinst and Vibraharp player died from cancer a week ago, three weeks after his 70th birthday.

Probably not many of you have ever heard of him, but he was a great and major player on the danish

jazzscene. About a year and a half ago he celebrated his 50th anneversary as a pro muscian with a

concert at Jazzhouse here in Copenhagen, some concert it was with him, Kenny Barron, NHOP, Alvin Queen.

I was there with my american friend David Perry, who had come all the way from the states for just that one

concert, so some americans know Finn Ziegler, and I bet that Chris Albertson knows him too.

Very sad news.

I was at his anniversary concert as well that time.

What I enjoyed most were his jam sessions at La Fontaine. Always crowded to the max, always tons of fun.

Not terribly long ago I received from a friend the following CD.

Finn Ziegler - A Beautiful Friendship - Universal Music Denmark

with Kenny barron, N.H.O.P., Alvin Queen

Ziegler played violin but no vibes. It's a very good CD.
