The former European boss of WEA and current boss of his own label ACT has given crucial impulses and has been in service of jazz for half a century, as explained by the jazzahead! management.
On Friday, April 20th 2012, Siggi Loch will receive the jazzahead!-Škoda-Award during the official opening ceremony of jazzahead! at Focke-Wulf Saal at the Congress Center.
