Michael Mantler
Born:
Michael Mantler was born in 1943 in Vienna, Austria, where he studied trumpet and musicology at the Academy of Music and Vienna University. In 1962 he went to the USA to continue his studies at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. He moved to New York in 1964 and started playing trumpet with Cecil Taylor and others.

Together with Carla Bley he formed a large jazz orchestra to perform new compositions, resulting in their first recording Communication. After the Guild discontinued its activities, he toured Europe twice during 1965/66 with the Jazz Realities Quintet, featuring Steve Lacy and Carla Bley
