The Allotria Jazz Band performed in the USA and Canada with a long array of guest soloists, some of whom in their own right important players in the jazz tradition, and many of whom were invited to Germany for guest performances and concert tours with the band ( see under the heading : guest stars) The band took a turn away from the narrow concepts and guidelines of commercial producers and signed with a different record company. From 1983 on it recorded for the Swiss company Turicaphon under the label „Elite Special“. The program became uncompromisingly jazzier, swingier. These concepts were also affirmed by the audience. In 1989 The Allotria Jazz band received a golden record due to their high sales success. Finally the core of the band decided to take personal consequences from the new musical orientation. In 1994 Pit Mueller, Achim Scherz and Manfred Zöbisch left the orchestra.
New members were: Stephan Zimmermann on trumpet, Thilo Wagner on piano (after 4 years intermezzo with Keith Little) and Peter Cischeck on bass. In 2007 in came Andrey Lobanov for Stephan Zimmermann and in 2012 our guitar player Juergen Hinz sadly passed away. In autumn 2013 our founder member Fritz Stewens left the Band, and since then we have Mathias Goetz on trombone. The former student orchestra had developed into a band made up almost exclusively of accomplished, professional musicians, that has lost none of its joy of performing and because of this is in demand for private events, and performances in clubs, concerts and festivals.
