Joachim Kühn & Young Lions

Description

Joachim Kühn unveils a new album that is free, intense, and resolutely current.Joachim Kühn has no interest in looking back. At over 80 years old, he is more inspired, productive, and daring than ever, composing and improvising every day in an unceasing quest for freedom, renewal, and transcendence.With Joachim Kühn & Young Lions, this refusal of stagnation takes on a new dimension: the pianist surrounds himself with a young generation of exceptional musicians and writes specifically for them, in order to push them and to draw from them. The result is music of striking intensity, where experience meets the fire of youth, where structure confronts risk, and where individualities fuel a collective power.Young Lions is not a celebration of the past, but an affirmation of the present: a living, moving jazz, with Joachim Kühn as one of its most free and uncompromising voices.
