Joachim Kunze
At the age of seven everything started with the choir of trombones. When he was 15 years old, Joachim Kunze already played the trombones in various dance- and brass-bands. In constant intention to develop himself he met Malte Burba in Frankfurt. At the same time he also came into contact with jazz and big-band-music. In 1987 he started his studies in Mainz at Malte Burba. In this time he was active in classical orchestras and solo-literature. But he felt more drawn towards jazz, which could offer him more chances of creation and expression.
So he was playing the leading-trumpet with many big-bands in the area of Frankfurt – so called Rhein-Main-Area, with different jazz-companies, some funk- and rock-bands, as for instance between 1995 to 2000 with the famous Hessian band „Rodgau Monotones“.
