About Me:
 
Keyboarder, pianist and composer Kurt Baebi was born on Oct. 25, 1943 in Luzern, Switzerland. At the Jazzschool Luzern in Switzerland, he studied piano, notation and composition. In 1974 he formed the legendary Band "Shivananda" which until 1984 held a top position in the jazz-rock szene in Europe. Many extended tours, three albums and numerous international festival- and tv-appereances gained the band their singular reputation.

In the studio-scene, Kurt Baebi was much in demand as a keyboarder, soundesigner and keyboard-programmer. For the third "Shivananda" album "COMEBACK" he acted as a producer, engeneer, bandleader, composer and musician. From 1989 until 2006, Kurt Baebi produced six CDs for his label CSST Production as composer, arranger and musician under his own name.

The group SHIVANANDA was founded 1973 by Kurt Baebi, one of the most succsessful Live-Bands of the time. SHIVANANDA celebrated the Jazzrock, the upcoming music style of the decade developing towards a soon zenith.Numerous tours all over Europe as well as performances at international festivals and Radio/broadcasts
testified together with the three recorded albums on the fabulous homogeneity of the sound colours, founding the Bands unique reputation.

Got em' :P

Love ur music :).all I need of urs is 8 of the First Take album to have ur set off amazon. AS for the band - I will wait to get em' except the live ones as I don't like live music sometimes next month in august sometimes as soon as a certain site allows me to re-order new gift cards - only allows 5 per month of each prize, and the upped ones are too much points. :P, and I ran out this month buying the baebi mp3s. Also I did use audacity to cut out the clapping and some other unwanted beginning/ending noise off a couple off your utube vids u have here after converting to mp3 format via an online service. At last I have listened to your music the most over and over again which is rare for me to do so on any albums. Also just a note - I did upload a copy of ur music to Grooveshark for others to hear, and grooveshark if anyone wants a copy to download sends the user to either itunes or amazon to get em' by buying them. Again - Wonderful Music.
