For 33 years now, the name Herbie Kopf not only stands for a first-call bass-player, but a prolific and established bandleader/composer with a long list of internationally successful bands and collaborations as well. A major portion of his now over 200 original compositions is released and can be heard on 17 CD's of his own. One of the enthusiastic reviews of the year 2000's album "Who shot the piano-player?" (feat. Jack Walrath) proclaims: "...simply a masterpiece: as passionate as smart, as inspired as well-planned. Or in other words: a sheer pleasure! With no doubt, one of the most beautiful albums among the many great new releases in Switzerland."
