Herbert Joos (born 21 March 1940 in Karlsruhe) is a German jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and graphic designer.[1]

Life and works

Joos learned trumpet first by self-study and then by a private teacher. He studied double bass from 1958, but then, he turned to flugelhorn, baritone horn, mellophone, and alphorn. Since the mid-60s, he has been a member of Modern Jazz quintet Karlsruhe, from which the group Fourmenonly was created (with Wilfried Eichhorn and Rudolf Theilmann). Afterward, he was a member of various modern and free jazz formations (with Bernd Konrad, Hans Koller, Adelhard Roidinger and Jürgen Wuchner among others). He played in festivals and in the Free Jazz Meeting Baden-Baden at a flugelhorn workshop with Kenny Wheeler, Ian Carr, Harry Beckett and Ack van Rooyen and made a name for himself with his solo record the Philosophy of the flugelhorn (1973). Also, he led his own wind players trio, quartet and orchestra. He achieved more recognition in the 80s as a member of Vienna Art Orchestra. Since the 90s he has participated in the SüdPool-Projekt. Also he has appeared in a duet with Frank Kuruc as well as in Patrick Bebelaar's groups or for Michel Godard, Wolfgang Puschnig, Clemens Salesny and Peter Schindler.[2]
