Joachim Kühn solo

Germany


Visionary and Deeply Sensitive

“From Bach to Ornette Coleman” reads the PR blurb for the solo recitals given by Joachim Kühn. Nevertheless, this man makes no compromises at all when playing music. Any note he plays is totally his own, played the way he feels them. Listening to a solo concert by Joachim Kühn is a life experience regardless of the number of times one has heard him live. Be it his own tunes, Ornette's, or simply whatever comes into his genius mind, whatever he plays is something no one has ever heard before.

“So, two very different facets of the great German pianist are on display here, revealing his single-mindedness, broad vision, and the unique excitement that he creates.” (London Jazz News, review of Joachim Kühn Birthday Edition, March 2014)
