in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, Joris took private piano lessons
at age 12 after moving to Vienna, Austria.
At age 14 he received some private drum lessons. Also, for a
short time, he attended jazz theory and arrangement at the Vienna
Conservatory. But generally said, he is what you
would call, a self-taught musician.
Starting his musical journey in the late 1970's
as a studio session player, 18 year old Dudli can be heard
on legendary recordings of Austrian Pop Heroes such as Wolfgang
Ambros's "Es lebe der Zentralfriedhof",
Reinhard Fendrich's "Ich wollte nie
einer von denen sein" and the German version of the musical
"Cats".
After that he became a steady member of the
"Vienna Art Orchestra" for many
years and worked with all of Austrian's Jazz Greats. Almost
all- it wasn't until 2004 when Dudli finally had a chance
to play with Joe Zawinul and his "Syndicate".
In the late 1980's, it was US trompeter Art
Farmer who played a major role in connecting Dudli
with the New York Jazzszene. Until today, New York is an important
base for Dudli. The most recent recordings with Vincent
Herring's Earth Jazz Agents along with Anthony
Wonsey and Richie Goods are proof
of Dudli’s versatility.
Besides beeing a member of the Vienna
Art Orchestra and the Art Farmer Quintet for many years, he
recorded and performed with many of the greatest jazz artists
of this time: Benny Bailey, Jerry Bergonzi, Johnny
Griffin, Clifford Jordan, Jimmy Heath, Tom Harell, Eddie Henderson,
Joe Henderson, Joe Lovano, Mulgrew Miller, Sal Nistico, Mickey
Tucker, Harold Vick, and many others.
