Melodic Ornette Coleman

Description

An album released on the occasion of the 75th birthday of the emblematic pianist of the European jazz scene. It is extremely rare for German jazz musicians to enjoy such international renown as pianist Joachim Kühn. Raised in the great classical tradition in Eastern Europe, this impetuous pianist never stopped practicing the art of the fugue, escaping first into jazz, then into free jazz and jazz-rock, before returning to more familiar territories. "Melodic Ornette Coleman" is Joachim Kühn's tribute to Ornette Coleman, his long-time partner. On this album, he performs original compositions, most of which have never been recorded before. A beautiful tribute from the pianist to an emblematic figure of jazz and a wonderful way to celebrate his 75th birthday in music!
