clifford_thornton Posted November 8, 2023 Report Posted November 8, 2023 Sad to report that the great German/Luxembourger bass clarinetist Michel Pilz has died. He led a number of fine if obscure dates over the years and also worked with Manfred Schoof, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Keith Tippett, Jean-Noël Cognard, Itaru Oki, and others. Unique sound on the instrument, that is for sure. RIP. https://www.wort.lu/kultur/trauer-in-der-szene-jazzer-michel-pilz-gestorben/4625168.html Quote
