TRIO JOACHIM KÜHN - DANIEL HUMAIR - BRUNO CHEVILLON « WE RE-REMEMBER J.F. » at LIKE A JAZZ MACHINE
Joachim Kühn is one of the great piano virtuosos of our time. Although he has reached the highest stage of musical maturity, he remains nonetheless open for new encounters. His playing defies all categorization, and has earned him a place as a world class musician. He has already left his mark on contemporary jazz and given it a new direction. He sees himself as part of the jazz tradition, connected to European concert music and yet directly indebted to a contemporary musical language. He displays vehemence and sensibility, a virtuoso technique and imagination and an unfailing sense of dynamics. He formed a legendary trio with Jean-François Jenny-Clarke and Daniel Humair and played with such diverse musicians as Gato Barbieri, Don Cherry, Phil Woods, Michel Portal, Billy Cobham, Michael Brecker, Albert Mangelsdorff, Joe Lovano, and his brother Rolf Kühn. Since 1996, he worked repeatedly with Ornette Coleman. Be it in his interaction with long-time musical partners such as Daniel Humair, the great Swiss drummer, or Bruno Chevillon, one of the foremost bassists of the younger generation, in ever new and challenging musical constellations, or alone in his solo performances, Kühn always manages to make his concerts into a unique experience.
