Info for Music for Two Brothers (Remastered)

The two are to Germany what Joe Zawinul was to Austria: the finest export to the homeland of jazz. Born in Cologne in 1929, clarinettist Rolf Kühn lived in the USA between 1956 and 1962 to compete with the best of the best, but then returned to Germany. Pianist Joachim Kühn, who was born in Leipzig in 1944, left his homeland in 1968, lived first in France, then in the USA and now travels back and forth between Paris and Ibiza. Both have never rested on their (ample) laurels, but have always sought new musical challenges. In 2011, they were honoured together with the ECHO Jazz Award for their remarkable life's work, and the brothers, who grew up in East Germany and fled in an adventurous way, have repeatedly recorded albums together, such as the legendary ‘Impressions Of New York’, which they recorded in 1967 just three days after Coltrane's death. In their music, the two of them move like somnambulists in a spacious house in which they have lived together for a long time. You know the charming corners and perspectives - and yet you always discover something new.

"...The performances flow rather than swing hard, and the avantgarde portions are generally cool rather than bombastic. Very pleasant and very nice." (Stereo)
