about
Born in the Grand Duche of Luxembourg in 1956, Gast Waltzing's defining passion has always been music. At the age of 7 he began his studies at the Conservatoire of Luxembourg, continued his classical training at the Conservatoire Royal de Brussels and completed his studies at the Conservatoire National Superior de Paris. "I am always a musician" he states, "It's not like I wake up and decide where to schedule music in. It is always present." He was named Professor of Trumpet at the Conservatoire of Luxembourg in 1982, and in 1986 founded the Jazz Department of which he remains the head. He has released tens of albums ranging from Classical to Jazz to Dance, notably his early jazz groups, "Atmosphere" and "Lifes Circle: and more recently his jazz group "Largo", which is signed to Warner Bros. London, who will release his second "Largo" album titled "Long Journey" for this label in the summer of 2005. "I am so tired of all the backward looking that goes on in Jazz right now. The original innovators were just that... innovators, and they took influenced from everything that was around them, they didn't try to sound exactly like anyone else. Jazz is a living music, and it doesn't, belong in the past. It needs to move on. Hip-Hip, DJ culture, dance music, it all plays a part in my composing" And he began composing at 15, with the Luxembourg Jazz Five, and has always composed original music for his many formations, (hundreds of pieces!) expanding into the composition and production
