Jochen Lanius *07.03.1960
Jochen Lanius ist 1960 in Baden–Württemberg geboren. Nach dem Schulabschluss in Kirchheim/Teck folgt die Studienzeit in Heidelberg.
Musik ist für mich das ideale Medium, meine Gefühlswelt zu orten, zu ordnen und nach außen zu transportieren. Inspiriert von Gitarristen wie Chris Jones, Dick Bird, Eric Clapton, Werner Lämmerhirt und Marc Knopfler spielt er mit groovigen Pickings unterlegte Songs auf Akustikgitarre aus eigener Feder und Interpretationen von bekannten Titeln aus Folk, Rock und Blues.

Herman
Ernest III (August 12, 1951 – March 6, 2011), best known as Roscoe, was
an American drummer in the New Orleans funk scene, and is best known
for his drumming in Dr. John's band the Lower 911 for almost 30
years.[1] "Renowned for his larger-than-life personality Roscoe was both
a powerful percussionist and steadfast individual."[2] He played drums
on Dr. John's Trippin' Live, released on July 29, 1997, under the
Wind-Up record label, which was recorded over a week in London in 1996
at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.

Early life and career
In 1971 he was hired as the drummer of King Floyd's new road band the Rhythm Masters. After a split from the singer they renamed the band World Blues and played gigs around New Orleans. Ernest was the primary drummer on the two Allen Toussaint produced Patti LaBelle albums (Nightbirds and Phoenix), most influentially in his contribution to the beat of "Lady Marmalade". After World Blues dwindled, Ernest formed another club band with Teddy Royal called Cypress. Ernest played for years at the Sea-Saint studios with Allen Toussaint among others. In 2005, before Hurricane Katrina he was working on Nine Lives with Paul Sanchez.
He began recording with Dr. John in the early 1990s, and became a member of the band after the recording of Trippin' Live in 1996. Shortly after that he became the bandleader and remained a key member until his death, providing a "sturdy foundation."[2] "Their rapport, honed over many years together and the result of a profound mutual respect, was obvious in Mr. Ernest’s humorous introductions and commentaries delivered from behind the drum kit. During a set at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell, Mr. Ernest provided a play-by-play description of Rebennack’s zombie-like soft-shoe dance in "I Been Hoodooed"."[2]
Although he spent the majority of his time recording, Ernest was active in different areas of the New Orleans community. He was a deputy sheriff for the New Orleans Police Department and dedicated time during Mardi Gras and Thanksgiving to ensure peace was kept throughout the city. He was active in the Baptist Church. He played drums for his mother's church, the Greater Liberty Baptist Church, on Desire Street in New Orleans. He taught drumming techniques to children with Alonzo Bowens Jr. at the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp.[3]
Ernest lost his battle with cancer on March 6, 2011.[1] "He was a cat that always lived," Dr. John said. "He wasn't one of those guys that was a survivor. He was a guy that lived. We're going to celebrate the cat's life to the max."[citation needed]
To honor his commitment to music and the New Orleans culture, the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic started the NOMAF's Herman Ernest Memorial Interfaith Health Screening Initiative,[4] which will screen New Orleans residents, most specifically musicians for head and neck cancer.
Associated acts
Ernest has played with many musicians including, Johnny Adams, Marcia Ball, Billy Branch, Solomon Burke, Josh Charles, Shemekia Copeland, Cowboy Mouth, Jeremy Davenport, Lee Dorsey, Snooks Eaglin, Carol Fran, Grady Gaines, Guitar Shorty, Jools Holland, Etta James, Earl King, Joe Krown, Patti LaBelle, Linda Lewis, Ramsey Lewis, John Mayall, Jimmy McCracklin, Larry McCray, The Meters, Maria Muldaur, Aaron Neville, The Neville Brothers, David "Fathead" Newman, Anders Osborne, Earl Palmer, Maceo Parker, Wardell Quezergue, Herlin Riley, Kermit Ruffins, Paul Sanchez, Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint, Johnny Vidacovich, Phillip Walker, Carl Weathersby, Junior Wells and Marva Wright.
