Hartmut Geerken (born 15th of Januray 1939 in Stuttgart, Germany) is a German musician, composer, writer, journalist, playwright, and filmmaker. He is widely travelled. Worked for the Goethe Institute in Cario (1966-72), Kabul (1972-1979), and Athens (1879-1983). The years in Egypt seemed to be particularly musically significant as he brought The Sun Ra Arkestra there in 1971, and also co-founded the The Cairo Jazz Band and The Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble.
