Description
Reissue of Rolf Kühn's funky 1980 LP 'Cucu Ear', beside his brother Joachim Kühn, who as always took the place at the keys, Rolf brought together an illustrious group of musicians from a variety of backgrounds for this record, including Alphonse Mouzon, Philip Catherine, Charlie Mariano, Herb Geller and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.
For a German jazz musician to find international recognition as a major player has been and remains a rarity. Clarinettist Rolf Kühn belongs to this elite class. No one sounds like him on the clarinet; warm, round and masterful, his tone remains unmistakable no matter what style he may be playing at any given moment. His play resonates with a maturity and wisdom gathered from a long and rich life of musical experiences.
"I have always had the desire to find unusual set-ups for my productions – like working with musicians who come from very different genres such as classical music, jazz fusion, pop, etc. But these trains of thought, which of course can be very tempting, can never be implemented without a risk. In the case of "Cucu Ear" for example Alphonse Mouzon and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen played together for the first time ever. With Niels and Alphonse, coming from such different stylistic directions, the plan worked out so perfectly that they are among my favorite rhythm groups today. Not least because of my brother Joachim, who plays fantastic additional synthesizer solos in addition to his great piano playing. These were two wonderful days in the studio and an unusual and extraordinary session that is still today very special for me." - Rolf Kühn, 2019
