Klaus Doldingers most popular band has been the passport to jazz for many Germans in those days. "Down to earth, open-minded, easygoing and a pleasant character" - couldn´t put it better than Big Beat Steve, indeed! Thank you for all the good times, Klaus Doldinger! RIP

Enormously prolific, I recommend Rich Perry´s later quartet recordings with Harold Danko for Steeplechase: "Gone" and "Mood". Many attractive sessions as sideman, too: I second colinmce: "Soft Hands" is an outstanding, drummerless album by Ron McClue, also very attractive the two horns line-up with Stephen Riley on McClures superb "Dedication". Also recommended: Perry on George Mraz´s quartet album "Bottom Lines" from the late Nineties.
