Editor's info:
Joe Haider fills out a more than an exciting chapter in the book of German jazz history. The guy is certainly a milestone on the piano too. However, he is also one of the most overlooked and not listened to. Is he also an innovator?

If this American cultural import has a quite unique sound in German-speaking countries today, this is also due to someone like him.
