Markus Stockhausen
The Cologne-born trumpeter and composer is at home in jazz as well as in classical and experimental music. As the son of the avant-garde composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, he was characterised by a close collaboration with his father, which led to performances at many world premieres. Stockhausen is known for his exceptional technique and versatile style, which combines jazz, contemporary music and spiritual sounds. Markus Stockhausen is recognised as one of the most innovative trumpet players in Europe, constantly exploring the boundaries of music.

The jazz symphony "Europeana" is a central work in the ACT catalogue. It epitomises the power of jazz that spans regions, times, styles and personalities. And to mark the 80th birthday of its key figure Joachim Kühn, this milestone is now available on vinyl for the first time.
Alongside Joachim Kühn, the album brings together the crème de la crème of contemporary European improvised music, including Albert Mangelsdorff, Django Bates, Klaus Doldinger and Richard Galliano, backed by the NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra Hanover.
The album, released in 1995 and written by the English composer and arranger Michael Gibbs, combines the rich European musical tradition with the language of jazz. Symphonic music, swing, free jazz, blues and flamenco - all this merges into a unique, timeless music without borders.
