JOACHIM KÜHN — Allegro Vivace (2005) Serie Piano Works – I | FLAC (tracks+.cue) lossless

Just judged by its repertoire, this is certainly an impressive solo piano date. Joachim Kühn performs works by François Couperin (a mass from 1690), Bach, Mozart, John Coltrane, and Ornette Coleman in addition to three of his own originals. Although the mixture of classical and jazz pieces might seem illogical, Kühn's subtle improvising on the classical compositions and his ability to create melodies in his improvising on the jazz tunes give this date an evolution that somehow works. Kühn has always had impressive technique and a healthy musical curiosity. Both serve him well, along with his imagination, on this intriguing and successful outing. Scott Yanow

"Joachim Kühn is an original genius, with the ambition to provide a maximum of expressiveness with the highest possible individuality" - (SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG). ACT

WOLFGANG HAFFNER — Kind Of Cool (2015) FLAC (tracks), lossless

On "Kind of Cool," Wolfgang Haffner moves between tradition and modernity, taking inspiration from Cool Jazz and the Great American Songbook. In the tradition of the legendary Modern Jazz Quartet and with the spirit of Cool, timeless jazz classics are elegantly performed. Incredibly relaxed, sophisticated, self-assured, and ultimately special. Three original compositions round out the album. It takes a true all-star band to make music sound as it does on "Kind of Cool": international jazz stars who have nothing left to prove, simply enjoying the pleasure of making these pieces sound like what they are: some of the most beautiful compositions produced by 20th-century music.
