"In the autumn of 1996 Chris Hinze managed to surprise everyone with his next CD release: Senang. This album was a kind of back to the roots experience for Hinze, and many of his old friends from the world of jazz contributed solos. These friends included Michael Brecker, Charlie Mariano, Joachim Kühn and many others. The sparkling solos of these international jazz musicians were inspired by dance rhythms like jazz dance, jungle, hip-hop, ambient house, breakbeat, dub, and world music elements like Gregorian chants, Tibetan monks, African musicians, and the mysterious sounds of a Bulgarian choir. Of course the dance rhythms were programmed by Tom Holkenborg ((Junkie XL). By using all these different influences, Chris Hinze provides a fully original and individual interpretation of the Indonesian word 'Senang' (meaning 'feeling good'), not only as a composer, but also as a producer and soloist". (Website Chris Hinze).
"Clarinetist Rolf Kuhn is much less well known here than his piano playing brother Joachim, but in Germany he is a extremely well regarded father figure of the modern jazz scene there. This 1975 release features some heavy hitters of the day (Gerd Dudek, Albert Mangelsdorff, Philip Catherine, Joachim Kuhn, etc.) and there's additional brass instrumentation, making this, at times, a big band. This is a creative, heavily jazz-rock-tinged work from the original era and one that fans of that sound will be thrilled to hear." (Wayside)
"Although throughout much of his career Rolf Kuhn has been a swing-based clarinetist, he also has had an open mind toward much more adventurous jazz, possibly inspired a bit by his younger brother, pianist Joachim Kuhn. On this out of print but very intriguing LP, the two Kuhns, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Aldo Romano perform a 33-minute suite titled "Impressions of New York," which is divided into "Arrival," "The Saddest Day," "Reality," and "Predictions." The music flows with a strong momentum, never losing one's interest. Rolf Kuhn easily keeps up with his younger sidemen, and the overall results feature strong development and some surprises. Recommended." (Scott Yanow, Allmusic)
"Bijna 20 jaar al verrast componist en ûd-speler Abou-Khalil met ongewone bezettingen. Tot dusver voerde hij vooral eigen muziek uit. Kennelijk heeft hij nu zijn gelijke gevonden, want op dit album met de vermaarde Duitse jazzmuzikant Kühn staan gezamenlijke composities, uitgevoerd met ûd, piano en slagwerk. Qua diepgang en sonoriteit steken ûd en vleugel elkaar naar de kroon. Abou-Khalils muziek mocht nooit 'jazz' heten, maar gaat daar steeds meer op lijken. Vijf uit vijf sterren." (Ton Maas, Volkskrant)
Pianist Kuhn met Daniel Humair (d) en J.F. Jenny-Clark (b) plus de WDR Big Band. Eigenzinnige, bepaald niet eenvoudige bigbandstukken waarin elementen uit fusionjazz en modern klassiek verweven zitten.
Album uit 1995. Zeer boeiende opnamen van componist/arrangeur Michael Gibbs die o.a. ook filmmuziek schreef. Met vele prominente gastsolisten, naast Kühn o.a. Klaus Doldinger en Richard Galliano.
