Gerry Joe Weise was born in Sydney, Australia in 1959. As a teenager, Gerry Joe Weise's first initiation into jazz in Sydney, was when he joined the jazz fusion quintet Corroboree in 1978. Film composer Cezary Skubiszewski played keyboards, and Manfred Mann Chapter Three's Craig Collinge was the drummer. When Weise left Australia to broaden his musical horizons in 1980, he chose Frankfurt, Germany, for the music scene. In that city and same year, Weise became one of the members of the Jazzkeller's house band. He backed a variety of German jazz musicians and American blues artists, Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, and Eric Clapton. Weise made the move to Munich in 1982, and joined the German jazz fusion quintet with horn section, Tour de Force. They were known for their compositions with complex time signatures (e.g. 13/8). The quintet played famous venues in Bavaria, such as the Jazz club Unterfahrt, the Vielharmonie and the Wintergarten. Towards the end of 1984, Weise left Germany to establish himself in France. Primarly for concert performances, these jazz formations had no official album released, although each group had demo recordings for bookings or promotional use. These jazz ensembles were important to a young Weise, honing his musical skills on the guitar, whereby he played for an approximate two to three year period with each. During the 1980s Weise's main musical instrument was a vintage 1967 Gibson ES-340 guitar, walnut color with a rosewood fretboard, and original pickups.
