In Memory of Wolfram Abt

Instructor of electric bass at the Bärnbach Music school from 1995-2001, the Studio Percussion private school, and private lessons since 2001.

Today I was informed that he committed suicide on Saturday 02.02.2008. He was 39 years old and a nice man. He was a good teacher especially in Jazz, fusion and Funk. He taught bass-guitar both at Johann-Joseph-Fux-Conservatory and University Of Music And Dramatic Arts Graz.
I was shocked as I heard it today. Unfortunately I still do not know why he committed suicide. I liked him so much, because I learned a lot of things and especially useful techniques from him to improve my style. We played together and we enjoyed that time as well.
I would like to commiserate with him and his family with being on his Funeral Day on Friday February 08,2008  in evangelical cemetery in Graz at 2 PM.
