Always fascinated by the sound of string instruments, I played the cello for some years. At the age of 14 I switched to double bass, aiming to become a symphony orchestra player. In 1974, I went to Germany to further my classical studies.
I started to work as a Jazz musician in 1978. During the course of my career I had the opportunity to work with such great musicians as Art Farmer, Mal Waldron, Archie Shepp, Kitty Margolis, Etta Cameron, Airto Moreira, Karl Ratzer, Trummy Young, and many others, touring and recording with them in Central Europe, Scandinavia, Japan, South America and New York.
Since 1992 I am a teacher for double bass and ensemble at the Jazz department of the "Richard-Strauss-Konservatorium" in Munich.
Naturally, I always like to come back to my musical roots, Brazilian Music.
My current band is called ACERVO.
With ACERVO, we play the whole spectrum of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira).
