Biography

Wolfgang Schlüter, born on November 12, 1933 in Berlin, Germany, was a percussionist and vibraphonist. He studied timpani and percussion at the Berlin University of the Arts from 1949 to 1954, but switched to mallet instruments due to a knee injury. Schlüter's breakthrough came when he joined Michael Naura's quintet in 1956. He later became a member of the NDR Bigband in 1965 and collaborated with notable figures such as Kurt Edelhagen, Erwin Lehn, Werner Müller, Paul Kuhn, Peter Herbolzheimer, and Volker Kriegel. Schlüter also played on studio recordings for the James Last Band. His albums include Kein Apolloprogramm Für Lyrik (1976), Country Children (1980), and Dualism (1982). He received several awards, including the Albert Mangelsdorff Prize in 2001 and the 2017 Hamburg Jazz Prize. Schlüter passed away on November 12, 2018.
