Thilo Wolf

Thilo Wolf (born 1967) – pianist, composer, arranger – initially began learning the accordion, but exchanged it soon afterwards for the piano, to receive a classical training. He quickly developed an interest in the world of jazz and today specialises in “groovy” swing. But he has distanced himself from the jazz purists, and instead finds his inspiration in current music trends.He wrote his first composition at the age of ten, at the age of 16 his first Big Band arrangement, and at 17 his first film soundtrack – performed by a Big Band and musicians from the Munich Philharmonic. Alongside piano, Thilo Wolf plays a further seven instruments.In 1992, his dream of having his own Big Band came true, as he came of age with the first episode of his own television series (SWING IT!), dedicated to him by the Bayerischer Rundfunk. In the various episodes, he welcomed guests such as Ray Anthony the legendary swinger, or the German Big Band hero, Max Greger, and indeed many world-famous jazz musicians – Toots Thielemans, James Morrison, Georgie Fame, ...In the meantime, Thilo Wolf has released 20 CDs – receiving a Golden CD for over 250,000 copies sold. He has written soundtracks for ARD and ZDF, working with orchestras such as the Babelsberg Film Orchestra, ensemble groups from the Munich Philharmonic or the New York Jazz Strings Orchestra, as well as with his own bands. Many international artists today value him highly as both composer and arranger.
