Albert Mangelsdorff, born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1928, was a pioneering figure in the world of jazz, renowned for his innovative approach to the trombone. Growing up in a musically rich household, Mangelsdorff initially trained on the violin and later taught himself the guitar, but it was the trombone that would become his signature instrument. Influenced by his brother Emil's extensive jazz record collection, Mangelsdorff developed a unique style that blended bop, modal, free jazz, and jazz-rock elements. He was particularly known for his groundbreaking use of multiphonics, a technique involving vocalizing into the horn to produce chords and overtone effects, which set him apart in the jazz world. Throughout his career, Mangelsdorff collaborated with numerous artists and recorded over 500 albums, leaving an indelible mark on the genre. His contributions to jazz continue to inspire musicians worldwide, making him one of the most respected and innovative trombonists of modern jazz.
