One of the top European straightahead jazz musicians of the post-1970 period, J. Thilo has appeared on many records with American artists in addition to recording with his fellow countrymen. His tenor sound is reminiscent of Zoot Sims. Thilo, who has also occasionally played alto and clarinet, first recorded as a leader for Storyville in 1973 and in the 1980's on Storyville his sidemen at various times included Kenny Drew, Clark Terry and Harry "Sweets" Edison.
