Austrian jazz musician Harri Stojka
(CPV) – A concert by one of Austria’s greatest jazz musicians, Harri Stojka, and his band will take place in Hanoi on November 23 and in Ho Chi Minh city on November 25.
Harri Stojka, one of Austria’s greatest jazz musicians, has musical roots that run deep. He comes from a Roma Gypsy family that surrounded him with rhythm and harmony before he could even talk.
Austrian jazz-guitarist Harri Stojka began his career in 1970 together with Jano Stojka at the Arena in Vienna.
Soon after that the young self-taught musician joined Karl Ratzer’s band “Gypsy Love” as bass player and found himself as guitarist in Peter Wolf’s “Objective Truth Orchestra”.
In 1978 he founded the “Harri Stojka Express”, which was the only Austrian band among acts like Jimmy Cliff, Eric Burden, Van Morrisson and Carlos Santana.
His band includes Claudius Jelinek (guitar), Herbert Berger (clarinet), Gidon Öchsner (rhythm guitar), and Peter Strutzenberger (doublebass)
In 2006, the CD “A Tribute To Swing” was re-released at ZOHO Music in New York. In Germany it was nominated for the German Music critics prize within just a week.
Free tickets can be collected at the Goethe Institute on November 19 and at the Austrian Embassy in Hanoi on November 21./.
