  • Description

    Hugo Read has developed an independent way of playing and composing in which new jazz, elements of contemporary music and rhythmical energy, acoustic base and electronic additions are combined to create a sound world of its own.

    Read has led a distinguished career, including cooperating with Karl Heinz Stockhausen from 1979 onwards. Stockhausen, fascinated by Read's musicality and his lyrical sound, engaged him for a big project (Sternklang) in the Beethovenhalle, Bonn. Jazz and new music are the main focus of Read's musical output and this is documented on his CDs and LPs, and countless radio productions which have been rproduced over the years.
    Read has been on many worldwide concert tours with various jazz groups including tours with Riot and Kenny Wheeler, appearances at Berlin Jazz Tage, Munich Jazz Festival, Frankfurt Jazz Festival (Key), Expo Sevilla (NRW Pool), Kuwait, Montreux Jazz Festival. Konzerthaus Vienna, Philharmonie Berlin, Philharmonic Cologne (Ensemble Modern) and has collaborated with Swiss pianist Thierry Lang (CD NAN on Blue Note).
