With a half-century in the music recording business, Siegfried Loch, known to friends and associates as Siggi, has had a huge impact on the jazz music scene in Europe. Jazz isn't the only thing he's been involved in as a producer over all those years, but having his own jazz label--ACT Music, based in Munich, Germany--was always his dream. It's a vision he brought to fruition in 1992, resulting in more than 250 recordings that have received accolades in Europe and well as Grammy nominations in the United States.
Veteran AAJ Contributor R.J. DeLuke spoke with Loch about his long and lustrous career, with a wealth of stories dating as far back as Sidney Bechet and as recent as Nils Landgren and one of ACT's biggest selling groups, e.s.t.
