Christian Plattner has been leading a ‘triple life’ – with
parallel careers in Music, Mathematics and Management – since his teenage
years.
Growing up listening to his father Helmut Plattner playing trumpet in traditional jazz
and swing bands he soon took up the clarinet and the alto saxophone. In 1979,
his father founded the family band Plattner & Plattners
Jazz Corporation, which during the years also would include the younger
brother Bernhard Plattner on trombone, and their sister, Susanne
Plattner, as vocalist and guitar player. For further
information on this ensemble and its current activities, please turn to the Plattner & Plattners page.
Since 1988, ensembles of varying size called Christian Plattner Jazz Party have appeared on stage
and records.
When in Austria, it’s
very likely you will see Christian Plattner performing at Europe’s oldest Jazz
Club Jazzland, located in Vienna’s historical city
centre, or at one of his concerts as a regular with a Viennese Traditional Jazz
Band, the Hot Jazz Ambassadors.
