Hannover Big Band

My first big band! We rehearsed in the studio of the NDR and I learned the basic repertoire of the big band literature. In summer 1989 we made a tour through DDR which was quite unbelievable.I’M still grateful to have had this experience. What a different world this was…! Caused by my enthusiasm I got a Stasi entry because of leaving my group and socializing with the audience which was forbidden.
