| Matthias Schubert, *1960 in Kassel, Germany
This man is one of the leading German saxophone players. If you have
ever seen him on stage you'll hardly forget his performance. His extremely powerful
playing, the richness of ideas in his improvisations and his inspired compositions give
him a prime position in German Jazz.

Amsterdam 1980 and at the competition of the International Jazz Federation 1982. In 1993
he received a grant from the W. Zippel Foundation in Kassel. 1995 he received the renowned
Jazzaward of the "Südwest Funk". 1996 he got an award at "Internationaler
Musikwettbewerb für junge Kultur", Duesseldorf/Germany.
He played among others in the Euro Jazz Big Band, the
Graham Collier Band, the Marty Cook Band, the Albert Mangelsdorff Quintett,
