German pianist dies, 84
mainThe Eurojazz trailblazer Wolfgang Dauner died this week in Stuttgart where, in the 1950s, he started out playing trumpet in American service clubs.
He formed a celebrated trio and, ultimately, the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble with Albert Mangelsdorff, Charlie Mariano, Ack van Rooyen and Eberhard Weber.
Some of his compositions were premiered by the Austrian-based US conductor Dennis Russell Davies.
