Martin Kunzler

Numerous concerts and tours as a jazz musician followed, among others with Oscar Klein, Raymond Droz, Ewald Heidepriem, Hans Deyssenroth [de], Phil Woods, Lee Konitz, Albert Nicholas, Milt Buckner, Attila Zoller, Stu Martin, Jean-Louis Chautemps, Pony Poindexter and above all for many years with the American arranger Bob Carter.

From 1970 to 1972, Kunzler was head of the feature section of the Westfalen-Blatt [de] in Bielefeld; during this time he also published his first book as co-author alongside Bernhard Conz with the title Gerettet auf dem Steinway-Flügel.

After an interlude at the Badische Zeitung in Freiburg im Breisgau, in 1973 he took over the PR department of BASF Records [de] Musikproduktion in Hamburg and later in Mannheim.

As an editor, he has designed many projects in this field; important permanent partners were Carl Orff, Gary Bertini, Ireneu Segarra i Malla [de] and Peter Michael Hamel.

He has also been active in the field of museums, including essayistic contributions for exhibition catalogues and, in 2002, marketing for a major Jean Tinguely retrospective at the Kunsthalle Mannheim.
