A long and epic prog track comes next, traversing styles and emotions as the best examples of such songs do! After Horst Krüger completed his apprenticeship as a mason, he embarked on a career as a musician. The first stop was with the Berluc Quartett, in which he initially worked as drummer, and later as bassist. His move to the Klaus Lenz Sextett in 1962 was also a change in musical direction from beat to modern jazz. He took over the position on bass in Lenz, but later also tried his hand at singing. Just one year later he was drafted into military service and during this time he played with the Erich-Weinert-Ensemble, where he worked as a singer for two years. After military service he returned to Klaus Lenz for a short time and went on a big tour with the Lenz Big Band.
In 1968, Krüger founded his first band, the Horst-Krüger-Sextet or the Horst-Krüger-Septet, in which he also played the drums at the beginning. With this group he played German rock music, the arrangements and compositions of which came almost exclusively from himself. In the early years, he and his group produced several titles for GDR radio, and the Amiga label released various singles. After two years as a drummer, Krüger switched to the keyboard in 1970 and Werner Gasch (formerly of Fips Fleischer) was hired as the new drummer. Günter Weber (trombone) joined the band, and the sextet became a septet. With the exception of Horst Krüger and Benno Pennsler, the lineup continued to change frequently.
After Benno Pennsler switched to the Cantus-Chor in 1973, Horst Krüger founded a new band, which from then on operated under the name Horst Krüger-Band. Krüger himself took over the position of bass player and was also some vocals. In Michael Heubach, Bernd Römer, Michael Schwandt, Hans-Jürgen "Gotte" Gottschalk and later also in Tamara Danz, he found first-class musicians who, after their time with the Horst Krüger-Band, would draw attention to themselves musically elsewhere in Silly, Karat (coming up soon) and Lift (v146). Krüger broke up the band in 1976 to concentrate on his work as a composer. As a result, he wrote film music for the "Polizeiruf 110", composed for television ballet and wrote a rock opera with Rosa Laub. Krüger later worked in the studio with many bands including the Wir group, coming up later here. Read more details at https://www.deutsche-mugge.de/portraits/2565-krueger-horst.html
