Markus Stockhausen

Markus Stockhausen is a German trumpeter and composer, born in Cologne on 2 May 1957, the son of Karlheinz Stockhausen and pianist Doris Stockhausen. His work moves between jazz, improvised music and contemporary composition, and he describes his approach as intuitive music. He is known for close work with his father over about 25 years and for a long series of recordings on ECM, ACT and Enja. Stockhausen played Sirius in Washington in 1976 and was trumpet soloist in his father's Licht cycle at La Scala and Covent Garden in the 1980s.
