In 1977 he moved to Vienna, to play with the Austrian Radio (ORF) Big Band and the Erich Kleinschuster Sextet, performing with European and American stars (concerts and broadcasting shows in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland...). At this time he was also doing his first solo projects, like 'Electrio' and 'Newland.'
