He was appointed as an associate professor at the local pedagogical college between 1975 and 1985. Besides of his carreer as a jazz musician he was also introduced many times as a classical musician.

He returned to the classical, melodic jazz after the 1980s atonal style. Been working with Philipp van Endert for 20 years, they also made concerts many tens of times.

He's to be found rarely, but in bigger formations connected with Martin Gjakonovski, Leonard Jones, Kurt Billker and Jochen Büttner. Also to be found in many TV- and Radio-productions and connected with more than 50 LPs and CDs as a participant.
