Albi Klinger bass guitar Bassist Albi Klinger is a fortunate recipient of growing up in a rich, musical environment in Linz, Austria. His early days in music exposed him to the sounds of The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Iggy Pop and The Who. "There always has to be one bass player amongst all of the guitarists.", humorously quips Albi. This realization presented him the opportunity to perform in a multitude and wide variety of musical settings from an early age. Mr. Klinger's musical ambitions and curiosity encouraged him to make the move to Graz. There, he was quickly adopted into the local scene of rock and pop artists as well as other creative generes including Jazz and film scoring.

His time in Graz also includes being an integral member of Die Micherei Productions, where he and Fabio Schurischuster continue producing for film and commercial projects. A most recent production includes Sigi Feigl's Jazz Orchester Steiermark, featuring The Bass and Jazz Orchestra.
