- "When words leave off, music begins!" (H.Heine)
Joerg Alfter was born near Bonn/West Germany in December 1966. Following in his fathers footsteps, he started as a classical trumpet player at the age of 7, and soon expanded into playing the piano when he was 14.
Joerg started several fusion band projects beginning in 1986 which lead him to his first studio work in 1988 as both a keyboard player and singer. Soon he became one of the most sought after studio players in West Germany.
He also started to record his own songs and compositions in his very first "home" studio containing an 8-track/ 1/2" recorder..). Recording and engineering became more and more one of Joerg's passions.
In the early 90's Joerg founded the Audio Art Studios, a state of the art recording facility located in old, remodeld Locomotive Halls in West Germany. In 1993 he installed one of the very first Pro Tools Systems (NuBus, ProToolsII) in Germany, and immediatly knew that DAW recording systems in combination with analog gear will be the future in music production. ProTools is Joerg's main recording platform ever since, never the less, he is thankful for the early opportunities to learn analog audio recording & mixing from the scratch...
While working in some of the top recording and producing locations like Maarweg (EMI), Homestudios (Hamburg), Juergen Koppers Studios, and many more, Joerg started producing and composing for and with several national and international artists, also in tandem with singer and songwriter Juergen Hallfell (Joshua) for their "Urgent Music" Project.
In 2002 the writer duo signed a publishing contract with one of the biggest independend publishing companies, Chrysalis/G***** Chrysalis Music. One year later, the first song was placed on a 5 time platinum record for the spanish version of "American Idol", called Opercion Triunfo. The song "Navidad Sin Ti" (Longing for christmas), performed by Tony Santos & Miguel Angel Silva, was released on the christmas sampler "La fuerza de la vida" in Spain, Portugal and South America.
A second titel, "Tu Volveras", performed by Operacion Triunfo contestant Naim Thomas, has also been written and arranged by writer-duo Joerg Alfter/ Juergen Hallfell
Joerg’s songs were placed on several GOLD and PLATINUM records, along with releases in Germany, Spain, Scandinavia, the UK, Canada and Japan.
As a keyboardist, arranger and singer, Joerg's work can be heard on many international productions throughout the last 15 years.
Since 2007 Joerg lives in the USA.

Nice to meet you too ! Please, don't forget to press accept on the "friends request" page so we can stay in touch. I love Hawaii. Especially the Napali Trail on Kawaii. The scenery there is breathtaking.
Best,
Tom
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
Mahanthappa brings an explosive blend of jazz and South Indian classical music to the studio.Grady Tate On Piano Jazz
Grady Tate began his jazz career as a much-celebrated drummer, backing such icons as Wes Montgomery, Ella Fitzgerald, and Quincy Jones. Tate has since traded in his skins for a microphone at center stage, where he delivers smooth and soulful baritone vocals. With pianist John di Martino, Tate sings "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "Where Do You Start."Woody Herman At 100: 'A Blues Player From His Heart'
He was a soulful reedman, an amazing talent scout for decades and a bandleader of one of the country's most popular acts. Born in 1913, Herman led "Thundering Herds" that were both big draws and well-respected by the likes of Igor Stravinsky. Here are five recordings which still sound fresh today.© 2013 Created by Jaijai Jackson.
