My Take
Rüdiger Baldauf intrigues me as a double-threat: a working jazz trumpeter at the front line of German music who also teaches at the university level. The trumpet is a wonderfully contradictory instrument, capable of slicing through a room with brilliance one moment and bleeding raw soul the next, and players who command both registers always win me over. That he composes and arranges as well tells me he can hear a sound in his head and build it himself, a rare completeness. I am especially drawn to musicians who burn brightly on stage yet still take the time to hand their craft down. He strikes me as genuinely cool.
