Jochen Feucht
Jochen Feucht (* 1968 in Biberach ) is a German jazz musician ( soprano and tenor saxophone , flute , clarinet , basset horn , composition , arrangement ).
Live and act
Feucht began classical clarinet lessons in 1979, but then switched to saxophone in order to become a member of the LandesJugendJazzOrchester Baden-Württemberg; In 1992 Peter Herbolzheimer brought him to the Federal Jazz Orchestra . Between 1990 and 1994 he studied with Andy Scherrer at the Swiss Jazz School in Bern.
After completing his studies, he recorded his debut album Warm Jazz in 1994 , on which he only presented his own compositions. One piece on this CD ("Wait and See") was nominated in 1995 at the International Jazz Composition Competition in Monaco. A second album followed in 1997, Signs on Lines (in a trio with Jochen Rückert and Christian Ramond ).
Over the next few years, Feucht played concerts with his own and other formations and the big band of Rainer Tempel , especially in southern Germany . In doing so, he developed a special interest in the connection between jazz and classical forms, which he examined more closely in his project sine qua non (and the CD of the same name that was created in 2002). The critics saw “successful examples of cross-border chamber music following the Third Stream of the 50s” (Werner Stiefele, Audio ). He also took part in radio play productions. In addition, he made freely improvised solo appearances and worked in ensembles in which he interpreted Brazilian music. He also works in the Duo Kayu with Karoline Höfler and can also be heard on albums by Jo Ambros , Manfred Junker, Gee Hye Lee and the Rua Baden Powell project .
He has also been working as a teacher for more than 20 years, at the Esslingen City Music School since 1999.
