Pianist Herb Pilhofer was born in Nurenberg, Germany, in 1931. He was not overly interested in music until he began studying piano at the age of seventeen. After WWII, he was introduced to jazz by the American soldiers who stayed in Germany, and decided to form his own group and play for the Army Special Service and the USO in Europe.
He traveled to the United States in 1954, where he learned arranging and orchestration from Bill Russo. Not wanting to waste time, that same year Pilhofer organized his octet, choosing from some of the best musicians the Twin City jazz scene had to offer. For him, it became a kind of workshop to test his own compositions. His album debut was "Jazz from the North Coast, Volume 2," recorded in 1956. Much of his writing and sound of Herb Pilhofer's octet walked the groove between the endeavors of the Dave Pell and Shorty Rogers groups, which were so in vogue at the time.

El pianista Herb Pilhofer nació en Nurenberg (Alemania) en 1931. No se interesó demasiado por la música hasta que empezó a estudiar piano a los diecisiete años. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los soldados estadounidenses que se quedaron en Alemania le introdujeron en el jazz, y decidió formar su propio grupo y tocar para el Servicio Especial del Ejército y la USO en Europa.
Viajó a Estados Unidos en 1954, donde aprendió arreglos y orquestación con Bill Russo. Como no quería perder el tiempo, ese mismo año Pilhofer organizó su octeto, eligiendo a algunos de los mejores músicos que ofrecía la escena del jazz de Twin City. Para él, se convirtió en una especie de taller para probar sus propias composiciones. Su debut discográfico fue "Jazz from the North Coast, Volume 2", grabado en 1956. Gran parte de sus composiciones y el sonido del octeto de Herb Pilhofer se movían entre los esfuerzos de los grupos de Dave Pell y Shorty Rogers, tan en boga en aquella época.
