Delightful piano trio music here with the Basra rhythm section. Kuhn was a genius and his style was elegant and powerful. On this recording he incorporates some sweet touches as well on the beautiful ”Why Did I Choose You” which is a favorite. The more uptempo tunes, which are ”Today I Am A Man”, ”Three Waves” and ”Bits and Pieces”, are a joy to listen to and where the trio really comes into it’s own, releasing tons of energy which really captivates.
This album flies a bit under the radar maybe, which is just fine, making it more reasonably priced I’d assume. Perfect, considering my new approach to collecting.
All in all this is a lovely trio outing which you should check out if you haven’t already.
There are some real gems to enjoy in the Kuhn catalogue, and I will continue to explore his output as a leader. Been listening a bit to “The October Suite” on Impulse and “Watch What Happens!” on MPS and both are great. Do you have some favorite albums by him?
