HARALD-SCHMIDT-SHOW-BAND

Since December 1995 Helmut Zerlett has been the composer and bandleader of the Harald-Schmidt-Show. The band he put together may be one of the best bands ever put together for a television show.

The members of the band are: Jürgen Dahmen (keyboards), Axel Heilhecker (guitar), Rosko Gee (bass), Mel Collins (saxophone), Thomas Heberer and Hans-Peter Salentin taking turns (trumpet), Antoine Fillon (drums). Helmut Zerlett and his band deliberately set themselves apart from showcase bands, which mostly cover popular songs.
