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.

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.
