Different instruments: drums and bass and additionally ░░ percussion, different keyboards, clavinet and strings ensemble. This ░░ many-sided usable music is made for subjects of research and science, ░░ sport, reports of any kind, nature, environment-problems, etc. ░░ ░░ Born in Gevelsberg, Westphalia, on February 17, 1942, Klaus Weiss taught ░░ himself to play drums and began his professional career at the age of 16 ░░ as a member of the Jazzopators, a group which accompanied American ░░ trumpeter Nelson Williams and also singer Inez Cavanaugh. ░░ ░░ His musical associates have included Benny Bailey, Cecil Bridgewater, Don ░░ Byas, Philip Catherine, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Jerry Dodgion, Klaus ░░ Doldinger, Kenny Drew, Booker Ervin, Wilton Gaynair, Herb Geller, Dusko ░░ Goykovic, Johnny Griffin, Friedrich Gulda, Slide Hampton, Billy Harper, ░░ Hampton Hawes, Clifford Jordan, Herbie Mann, Howard McGhee, Don Menza, ░░ Tete Montoliu, George Mraz, Sal Nistico, Walter Norris, Horace Parlan, ░░ Bud Powell, Jerome Richardson, Tony Scott, RenΘ Thomas, Mal Waldron, Leo ░░ Wright and Attila Zoller. ░░ ░░ When Klaus Weiss began his professional career in 1958, good drummers in ░░ Europe were still very few and far between. Weiss, however, found favour ░░ with visiting jazz stars because, as Johnny Griffin observed, "he is one ░░ of the few European drummers with that distinctive American feeling." ░░ ░░ From 1962 to 1965 he worked with Klaus Doldinger and during this time he ░░ had a spell in Paris, where he worked in the famous Blue Note club with ░░ Bud Powell, Johnny Griffin and Kenny Drew. ░░ ░░ In 1965 he formed a trio which backed American saxophonists Don Byas and ░░ Leo Wright and Jamaican Wilton Gaynair. That same year Weiss toured with ░░ a group that included Sal Nistico and Dusko Goykovic and also played some ░░ dates with Don Menza. ░░ ░░ The following year Weiss's trio, now with pianist Rob Franken and bassist ░░ Rob Langereis, toured with Booker Ervin. That same year Weiss won the ░░ International Jazz Competition in Vienna. ░░ ░░ After a spell with the Erwin Lehn Big Band (1967 - 68), Klaus Weiss moved ░░ to Munich, joined the Bayerischer Rundfunk Jazz Ensemble led by Joe ░░ Haider and appeared many times at Munich's celebrated Domicile club. In ░░ the late sixties and early seventies, he became increasingly active as a ░░ studio musician. In 1971 he worked with a multi-national quartet which ░░ featured American bassist Jimmy Woode, Dutch saxophonist Ferdinand Povel ░░ and Austrian pianist Fritz Pauer, and in the autumn of that year toured ░░ with an all-star orchestra which included Slide Hampton, Don Menza, Herb ░░ Geller, Fritz Pauer, Philip Catherine and Chuck Findley. ░░ ░░ In the first half of the 1970s, Klaus Weiss worked with the Horst ░░ Jankowski Sextet, the trio of former Mingus saxophonist Bobby Jones and ░░ the Eugen Cicero Trio. From 1975 to 1977 he toured with Mal Waldron and ░░ with the Dusko Goykovic Big Band and then, between 1978 and 1983, Weiss ░░ led a quintet which featured various guest soloists, including Sal ░░ Nistico, Roman Schwaller, Clifford Jordan and Andy Scherrer. He also ░░ played with Catalan pianist Tete Montoliu, with Eddie "Lockjaw Davis" and ░░ with the WDR and NDR big bands. ░░ ░░ In the 1980s toured with Clifford Jordan and Horace Parlan, played with ░░ multi-instrumentalist Jerome Richardson and toured with his new quintet. ░░ In 1984 he recorded a big band album, "Lightnin' " which was nominated ░░ for the Sⁿd West Funk Jazz Prize. ░░ ░░ In 1991 Klaus Weiss formed a new trio with pianist Rob van Bavel and ░░ bassist Thomas Stabenow and also put together the Saxophone Connection ░░ group (with Roman Schwaller, Andy Scherrer, Dado Moroni and Thomas ░░ Stabenow) which recorded a fine album for L&R Records (Bellaphon). ░░ ░░ In a highly varied career, Klaus Weiss has made 17 albums under his own ░░ name, with formations ranging from trio, quartet, quintet and sextet to ░░ full orchestra, and has appeared on numerous other albums as a sideman. ░░ ░░ Weiss's musical philosophy is that good jazz music - which means jazz ░░ played by consummate professionals who have a powerful rapport with one ░░ another and the same sense of musical direction - is a highly durable ░░ music. He says: "Count Basie's music will still be up to date 50 years ░░ from now." ░░ ░░ It is significant that Klaus himself defines his approach to drumming as ░░ directly derived from some of the great American drummers which he began ░░ listening to in the early 1950s. ░░ ░░ Says Klaus: "For me, the essence of great jazz drumming was epitomized by ░░ those giants, like Big Sid Catlett, Klook, Blakey, Buddy and Philly Joe. ░░ These have all been listening drummers, each with his own personality, ░░ but having in common a great ability to swing, to generate excitement, ░░ and to stimulate the soloists. And besides their sound and way of ░░ playing, I got really interested in the American drum rudiments because, ░░ as I discovered at the time, all great American drummers know and use ░░ those essential rudiments - but few of the European drummers in the ░░ fifties seemed to have assimilated these elements - at least, to my ░░ ears." ░░ ░░ He died January 10, 2008 very surprisingly suffering from a heart ░░ failure. ░░ ░░ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bm74js7cnl7ypyrimdi77n4nq2q ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| shouts 2 all the groups |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| putting out |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| quality music |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
