This is Ingo Luis’ motto. He’s never believed in a difference between serious and light music, and mixes different styles with gleeful abandon, giving his musicians new challenges and his audiences plenty of surprises. Because of his own work as a professional musician, he’s able to write convincingly in different styles and genres. He likes to write with a twinkle in his eye, but is serious about writing original creations – no ”hack arrangements here!
Musicians and ensembles throughout the world play Luis’ arrangements and compositions. Numerous requests and commissions testify to his reputation in the world of music, as do numerous commentaries and critiques:
"With his new CD "Hornplayers fifty-fifty", Ingo Luis has made another stroke of genius... It is great trombone jazz that touches the heart of listeners...a great album of classic quality."
