Jürgen Hagenlocher

Jürgen Hagenlocher, born in 1967, studied at Swiss Jazz School in Bern and won various prizes at an early age. He has not only played at numerous festivals and clubs since then, but can also be heard on almost a dozen recordings. His third CD (following "Episodes" in 2007 and "Confusion" in 2009) solidified his reputation (which his two CDs had already established) and which attracted the attention of many of his fellow musicians (Ack van Rooyen:  "a superbly arranged, soulfully executed venture" and Randy Brecker: "a first rate CD, great playing and compositions"). He plays regularly in New York where the new CD was also recorded with colleagues, with whom he has already been playing for years and who will also accompany him on a European tour in 2012.
