Joe Haider fills more than one exciting chapter in the history of jazz. He has been active as a jazz pianist, composer, arranger and teacher for over 60 years. The German musician has also left his mark in Switzerland, having directed the Swiss Jazz School in Bern from 1984 to 1995.

Now the maestro is turning 90 – and still playing. To celebrate, Haider has treated himself to a tour with the Joe Haider Jazz Orchestra. He is accompanied by twelve Swiss jazz musicians with whom he has played in various projects over the last three decades.

That being said, Haider does not see these concerts as a farewell to the stage. Rather, it is a thank you to all his fellow musicians, the audience and all those who have supported him over the years.
