GKP PROMOTIONS - Key Persons
"Gaby Kleinschmidt shows insight and understanding of my music and she puts artistic endeavour before commercial considerations. lt is no easy job for a booking agency to move 12 or 24 people around Europe, but Gaby manages it with efficiency and good nature. She does a fine job. She really feels the music and l'm happy to have her represent me."
A unique blend of Schwäbische Geschäftstüchtigkeit and a deep love for Jazz. Thank you Gaby, it was good working with you! Hugo Faas, Promoter and Manager for Jazz and Worldmusic
"I have worked with Gaby Kleinschmidt for many years and I respect her because she has complete integrity, compassion for the artist and a deep understanding of the music. That is why it is always a joy to work with her."
I am so saddened to hear about my dear friend Gaby's passing. I first met Gaby in 1976 on an Alphonse Mouzon tour she had booked. We became good friends and she booked many John Lee/Gerry Brown tours thru the years. I'll always remember her kindness, honesty, attention to detail, and infectious laugh. She will be dearly missed in our jazz community. May her next journey be one of joy filled with love.
My Dearest Gaby, Mere words are not sufficient to express my Love & appreciation for your support during our nearly 50 years of working as a Family(You,Mike,Frank,Marret,Roberta,Roy) to promote this Jazz Music that we love so much. It is my hope that we will be able to continue this work in your honor for many years to come. Larry
We had the pleasure of working with Gaby presenting Gregory Porter to the Slovak audience twice. It was allways lovely and "problemlose" collaboration. May she rest in peace. My deepest condolences to you, Frank and to the family.
"We have been professional musicians and performers for many decades now and we have worked all over the world with many promoters and booking agencies, Since 1980 we have worked with Gaby Kleinschmidt an all our European tours and we have never had any major problems. She is the most honest booking agent we have ever met and always gives her best to all her artists."
I am very sad to hear about Gaby's passing. We haven't been in touch for a while, but those times when we worked together will always be in my heart. I am very grateful to have had the chance to meet Gaby and for the kindness, trust and opportunity she gave me to present some of my favourite shows. Rest in peace
