Big Beat Steve Posted September 23, 2013 Report Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) He may not really be remembered much for his jazz background because he did lots of MOR pop stuff (even his big band wasn't very jazz-inclined most of the time) but in this he was typical of many musicians during that era. But he did do important things in 50s post-war jazz in Germany and had jazz chops on the piano if he wanted to make use of them. I remember a radio show in the early 80s featuring recordings from the NDR archives that never were released commercially anywhere. Part of the program were mid-50s piano duos of Paul Kuhn and Bengt Hallberg - quite an ear-opener. Would love to hear them again. RIP Edited September 23, 2013 by Big Beat Steve Quote
