Georg Wissel enjoys a largely autodidact education, where it has been quite natural -thanks to good old Wanne-Eickel´s tradition- that improvisation is a mean to develop musical forms, as well as to be form/music itself. So his collaboration with W.-E. trio "Pöhl Musik", recording and touring along with Jon Rose in Germany, France and Southamerica from 1986 – '88, left him an important mark. Until the early 90s he spent several years playing a lot of different styles of music, including big-band-jazz, rock and punk, top 40 and the music he composed especially for his own trio "Salz" and which he calls 'nojazz'. Then he turned his artistic focus mainly towards Improvised music and meanwhile he is working internationally, performing solo or with ensembles/projects (together with …George Cremaschi, Michel Doneda, Gunda Gottschalk, Matthew Goodheart, Peter Jacquemyn, Hans-Jürgen Kanty, Misha Mengelberg, Joker Nies, Roland Ramanan, Yves Romain, Alan Silva, Nicolas Simion, "LIO"… in clubs and on festivals (e.g. "New Jazz", Moers; "A-Cute", Bremen; "Inaudible", Brussels; "Schumannfest", Düsseldorf; "Re Discover/O Ucesnicima", Belgrade; "Fracture-Festival", Liverpool; "Humanoise Congress", Wiesbaden; "Triennale", Köln; "Free Music Festival", Antwerp). Furthermore, like as a negative/counterpart to improvisation, he concernes himself in composition, writing for stringtrio, chamberorchestra and solosaxophone. Read more on Last.fm.
