Klaus König (1959) is een Duitse trombonist en jazzcomponist. Hij studeerde bij Mauricio Kagel in Keulen. "In 'Reviews' (Enja 9061-2), the fifth and final installment in a series of extended works, he offers a collection of satirical scenes that use a libretto cobbled together from snippets of reviews of the first four pieces. The fawning, the hostile and the pompous are all included, and a finale sets opposing views directly against one another. David Moss narrates the work in a sneering style that will be familiar to fans of Frank Zappa (to whom the work is dedicated). More interesting are the wry four-part vocal settings, sung by the Bobs, and the extended instrumental pieces, which draw on big-band jazz, blues, rock, funk and academic atonality and are played with sizzling precision by Mr. Konig's orchestra."
