Born: March 3, 1977 Primary Instrument: Guitar
Studied jazz guitar at the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz, Austria (with Karl Ratzer), the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland (Raul Björkenheim), at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich, Germany (Peter O’Mara), and was a member of the National Jazz Orchestra (under Peter Herbolzheimer). He has performed with Klaus Doldinger’s Passport, Uwe Ochsenknecht and band, the Hilliard Ensemble, Wolfgang Schmidt, Roberto DiGioia, Martin Schmitt, Wencke Myhre, The Croonettes, etc. Zehrfeld formed Panzerballett in 2004 driven by a desire to combine his hard rock roots with his deep understanding of and extensive experience with jazz and thereby find the common denominator within the two essentially different sound aesthetics.
