Collection: Wolfgang Schlüter

Nur wenige internationale Stars hat der deutsche Jazz hervorgebracht, einer, der es sogar bis in den Downbeat – Critics Poll geschafft hat, ist der Vibraphonist Wolfgang Schlüter. Ein Urgestein der deutschen Jazzgeschichte, „in dem fast alle Vibraphonisten der Welt durchschimmern“ (Michael Naura), mithin auch Lionel Hampton und Milt Jackson, zwei seiner großen Einflüsse. Wolfgang Schlüter, der 30 Jahre Mitglied der NDR Bigband war, ist als Solist in den Orchestern von Kurt Edelhagen, Erwin Lehn, Werner Müller, Paul Kuhn, Franz Thon und Peter Herbolzheimer in Erscheinung getreten und begeisterte immer wieder durch seine Projekte mit dem Pianisten Michael Naura (und dem Poeten Peter Rühmkorff). Ihn als Swing – King abzutun, würde nur einen Teilaspekt seines künstlerischen Schaffens beleuchten, er gehört zweifellos zu den wichtigsten Vertretern seines Instruments in Europa und hat einen substantiellen Beitrag zur Entwicklung des Vibraphonspiels geleistet.
German Jazz has brought forth only a few international stars, there’s one man who even managed to make it into the Downbeat Critics Poll, and that’s vibraphonist Wolfgang Schlüter. A rock of ages in the history of German Jazz, a gem “in which nearly all of the world’s vibraphonists glimmer and shine” (Michael Naura), including two of his major influences, Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson. Wolfgang Schlüter was a member of  the NDR Bigband for 30 years, appeared as a soloist with orchestras of the likes of Kurt Edelhagen, Erwin Lehn, Werner Müller, Paul Kuhn, Franz Thon and Peter Herbolzheimer, and delighted audiences time and again through his projects with pianist Michael Naura (and poet Peter Rühmkorff). To dismiss him as a King of Swing would only throw light on a partial aspect of his artistic repertoire, because there’s no doubt that he is among the key talents on his instrument in Europe, and that he has contributed substantially to how playing the vibes has developed over the years.
