Act

Hoffmann, during whose childhood his brother Ludwig , who was ten years older than him, studied classical piano, studied piano in Berlin and Düsseldorf. From 1963 he was best known for his participation in the quartet of Klaus Doldinger . The first jazz recordings under his name were made in 1956 (Ingfried's Boogie - Bumble Boogie) with him on piano, guitarist Attila Zoller as well as Johnny Fischer on bass and Rudi Sehring on drums, after he had previously belonged to the Dixieland group The Feetwarmers .

On the LP Ingfried Hoffmann's Hammond Tales (1963) Hoffmann played almost exclusively the Hammond organ . With From twen with Love (1966) Hoffmann released a record on which he only plays the organ. In 1966 he took part in the recordings for the soundtrack for the Will Tremper film Playgirl . Under the direction of Peter Thomas , Klaus Doldinger (saxophone), Peter Trunk (bass) and Rafi Lüderitz (drums) can be heard on the soundtrack released on a Philips LP . In 1969 he formed his own band, Steel Organ , with whom toured Europe, South America and North Africa. He was also involved in records by Lucky Thompson and Rolf Kühn .

Hoffmann retired from jazz in 1970 and has since worked almost exclusively as a composer and arranger, including the album Marion Maerz sings Burt Bacharach - page one . In the 1970s he was also involved in albums by André Heller , Herbert Grönemeyers , Manfred Krugs and Michael Heltaus . He wrote music for The Phantom of the Opera , for Hallo Spencer and for the television series Robbi, Tobbi and the Fliewatüüt . Since 1972 he has been the musical director of the German version of Sesame Street . The German title song, which has become extremely popular, came from him. He also worked for Die Sendung mit der Maus und Käpt'n Blaubär . He also wrote film scores and suites for symphony orchestras and jazz soloists such as Wiener Impressionen or The Daily Blues .

On the occasion of Klaus Doldinger's 70th birthday in May 2006, he performed as a pianist in several cities in Germany - together with Doldinger.
