jazz clarinettists, Jerry Senfluk, joins John Petters Swing Band on Thursday

<p class="m_1015167142006865187MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:"Calibri","sans-serif""><font size="3">Born 17 March 1946, Prague, Bohemia (Czechoslovakia), Senfluk’s pianist
mother and cellist father encouraged his musical interests and upon taking up
the clarinet he received private tuition from the principal clarinettist with
the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. His tutor was an admirer of Benny Goodman and
his father brought home many jazz records from overseas tours; as a result he
developed a deep interest in jazz and, in particular, swing era styles. When he
was 12 years old he heard New Orleans clarinet legend, Edmond Hall during the
veteran clarinettist’s tour of Czechoslovakia. Four years later Senfluk made his
first public appearance, playing in a jam session at the International Jazz
Festival in Prague. Senfluk continued with his studies, graduating from the
Conservatoire of Prague in 1967. <u></u><u></u></font></span></p>

<p class="m_1015167142006865187MsoPlainText" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:"Calibri","sans-serif""><font size="3">In 1968 he began playing on Czechoslovak Radio and also became assistant
editor of the popular music magazine Melodie. In 1969 he worked in both jazz and
classical music, playing at the jazz festival in San Sebastian, Spain, and with
the Orchestra Of The State Theatre in Aussig, Northern Bohemia. At the end of
that year he moved to Berlin and toured Germany with a band supporting another
famous New Orleans veteran, Albert Nicholas. In the early 70s he played in
Germany, began teaching clarinet at the Steglitz School of Music, Berlin, and
toured Germany and Switzerland with a traditional jazz band. He also visited
London where he played with many noted jazzmen. In 1974, together with his wife,
Georgina, he opened the Coppelia Ballet School in Berlin. From the mid-70s he
was active in Germany and the UK, mostly playing jazz but also developing an
interest in the music of Brazil. At the end of the decade and on into the early
80s he led the Hallmark Swingtet in Berlin and worked extensively on radio and
television in Germany. <u></u><u></u></font></span></p>

and also began travelling further afield and, as a result, built an
international reputation. He also played with American jazz and blues guitarist,
Al Casey and Australian trombonist, Max Collie. <u></u><u></u></font></span></p>

Europe, and balances his repertoire between jazz, which is the dominant form,
and other areas of music. Technically assured and possessing enormous flair,
Senfluk’s clarinet playing is rooted firmly in the instrument’s great jazz
tradition, but he is clearly a musician who listens to and learns from a rich
and ever-widening range of music. <u></u><u></u></font></span></p>
