Steve Kuhn Trio at Jazzhus Montmartre

After a career of a half-century, Steve Kuhn has earned renown as a lyrical and affecting pianists, with an unfailingly beautiful touch and a sophisticated sense of swing. JAZZIZ Magazine has described Kuhn’s distinctive sound: “Few other pianists, regardless of genre, can tease such an evocative range of timbres from their instrument. Kuhn’s lower register is as dark and rich as Belgian chocolate, and his upper register has the light, translucent quality of ice-cold champagne.” As a composer, Kuhn’s songbook is one of quality rather than quantity. He has revisited many pieces repeatedly over the years, revealing their depth anew with each fresh interpretation, like gems held up to different light. This time Kuhn visits Montmartre with his trio consisting of Aidan O’Donnell on bass and Billy Drummond on drums and we are looking forward to seeing Steve Kuhn knock himself out in his favored trio format....

Efter mere end et halvt århundredes lang karriere er Steve Kuhn blevet anerkendt som en lyrisk og bevægende pianist med et smukt touch og en sofistikeret fornemmelse for swing. JAZZIZ Magazine har beskrevet Kuhns lyd således: “Few other pianists, regardless of genre, can tease such an evocative range of timbres from their instrument. Kuhn’s lower register is as dark and rich as Belgian chocolate, and his upper register has the light, translucent quality of ice-cold champagne.” Som komponist er Kuhns bagkatalog bundet op på kvalitet snarere end kvantitet. Han har genbesøgt mange af hans værker gentagne gange gennem årene og har for hver ny fortolkning afsløret nye og hidtil ukendte lag. Denne gang besøger Kuhn Montmartre med sin trio bestående af Aidan O’ Donnell på bas og Billy Drummond ved trommerne, og vi glæder os enormt til at se Steve Kuhn slå sig løs med sin favorit trio.
