Timothy "Tim" Roth (* around 1988 in Frankfurt am Main ) is a British-German jazz musician (double bass) and composer .

Live and act

In 2006 the band project TAP with Standke, Andreas Lehmann (saxophone) and Bernhard Kießig (piano) was born, which released its debut album in 2010. He was also a member of the trio of Natalya Karmazin .

Between 2007 and 2011 he studied jazz at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with Frans van der Hoeven and Arnold Dooyewerd . Together with his Indonesian friend Sri Hanuraga and his band Animated , he took second place at the International Jazz Piano Concours Amsterdam . Roth, who lives back in Frankfurt am Main, is also at the local theater active as a theater musician.
