"Thomas Buhé is called the father of jazz guitarist education in the former GDR. He is now one of the aged contemporary witnesses who experienced the development of jazz in Germany at an early age and can still talk about it in his old age with the enthusiasm that is nourished by the love of this music. A few years ago, at the urging of friends and relatives, he recorded his most important life memories in the book "Mein Kaleidoskop" (My Kaleidoscope) - a unique album of memories peppered with anecdotes, filled with long-forgotten names and places. It is a treasure trove for all those to whom subjective memories mean more than second-hand history books. In it, he entertainingly describes his eventful life, the years of childhood, as a soldier in the war, the tense time afterwards, and the non-conformist artist's existence in the GDR's restriction-filled everyday life, where he eventually worked as a teacher and university lecturer."
