Markus Hauser (born November 30, 1971, Näfels) is a Swiss musician (alto, soprano, tenor, baritone saxophonist, clarinet, transverse flute), band leader, composer and music teacher. == Life and works == Originally from Glarus, Hauser embarked on his musical career at the age of 15 as a saxophonist. After two years at the St. Gallen jazz school, he studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston and graduated in 1993 with a major in performance. He spent further years studying with Kenny Garrett, Joe Viola, Hal Crook, George Garzone and Jerry Bergonzi. Furnished with a scholarship, he continued training at New York's Manhattan School of Music, where he refined his repertoire and became a professional musician. In 2011 he once again spent time studying abroad, in Brazilian Salvador da Bahia. His dealings with South American idioms and jazz improvisations influence his earliest compositions. As a band leader, Hauser not only realised his own projects, he was also the "side man" in a variety of formations and ensembles. As such he toured with the Swiss big band leader Pepe Lienhard, with Udo Jürgens, with Brand New Rhythm in Mexico and Europe, and with the Phil Dankner Seat Music Session in Switzerland. Of his projects as band leader, both Vol. I and II of "Boleros y Tangos", "There’s a Way out", "No Joke", "NuTube" and "A Tribute to Art Pepper" count among his most outstanding creations. Art Pepper, the American alto saxophonist, is one of his idols. Pepper's ability to recount fascinating stories with simple melodies impressed him. Hauser transcribed and arranged compositions of the alto saxophonist.〔Vgl. http://www.jazzinolten.ch/2004jazztage/2004jazztage.pdf; The Return of Mark Hauser, in: ''Jazz’n’More'', 05/2004.〕 "A Tribute to Art Pepper" is both an impression of his intellectual creativity as well as his musical brilliance. A further project is "NuTube", presented by Hauser and Loris and Paolo Peloso. NuTube is a form of Nu Jazz, which came into being in the mid 1990s in countries including the USA, Mexico, France and Brazil. Hauser takes social trends of this style – as are expressed for example in Herbie Hancock’s Future Shock or by France's St. Germain – and develops his own musical concept from these. NuTube combines electronic music such as chill out and house with live instrumental music and is characterised by its polyvalent style, rhythm and formations. In addition to his work as a freelance musician, he is also a lecturer and examiner at universities and provides private tuition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Markus Hauser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
