Dave Horler & WDR BIG BAND - Live, Love and Learn

The WDR BIG BAND feat. Karolina Strassmayer on alto saxophone and Alec Harper on tenor saxophone with the musical tune "Live, Love and Learn" by Dave Horler, a long-time member of the WDR Big Band. In his early years in London, Horler played for the BBC Radio Orchestra, accompanying artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby. In 1980, Horler joined the WERNER MÜLLER DANCE ORCHESTRA in Germany as principal trombonist, composer and arranger. The WDR BIG BAND evetually emerged from the WERNER MÜLLER DANCE ORCHESTRA, and Horler helped shape the sound and musical direction of the jazz band for almost three decades. During this time, Horler often composed and arranged for the WDR BIG BAND in addition to playing lead trombone with his wonderful signature sound and style. Recently, several of Horler’s compositions and arrangements have been newly produced under the musical direction of conductor Stefan Pfeifer-Galilea (WDR Studio 4 / Cologne, February 2022).
