For the German tour, Luter was accompanied by pianist Christian Rameil, trumpeter Pierre Derveaux, bassist Roland Bianchini, trombonist Jean-Louis Durand, and drummer Poumy Arnaud. Born in Paris in 1923, Claude Luter was one of the stars of the postwar Paris jazz scene. After the liberation he and his band became a fixture at the Lorientais, the first of the great Latin Quarter jazz clubs that were the center of France’s burgeoning musical and intellectual revival. Perhaps best known for being an accompanist to Sidney Bechet, Luter also worked with Barney Bigard and French writer and musician Boris Vian. Regarded as one of France’s best exponents of traditional jazz, Luter died on 6th October, 2006, at the age of 83.
