During the education, he was also active in several formations in the field of jazz and related music genres such as Giancarlo Nicolai's guitar orchestra Zap (with Hans Feigenwinter, Bänz Oester and Kaspar Rast), Boxer (with Mich Gerber and Fabian Kuratli) and with Kenny Wheeler's Banff Jazz Orchestra in Canada. In 1994, he became a member of Harald Haerter's quartet. As a member of the quartet, he performed in many festivals in Europe and the USA from 1994 to 1999.
