Artist Info: Herbert Joos

Herbert Joos (* 21. March 1940 in Karlsruhe; † 7. December 2019 in Baden-Baden was a German jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and graphic artist. With his finely pastel sound patterns, the musician also belonged, after Martin Kunzler, to the top group of European jazz composers.
