Rolf Kühn Unit

If anyone deserves to be counted among the leading lights of European jazz, then it’s Rolf Kühn. The 87-year-old clarinet virtuoso is a master of bebop, cool jazz and free jazz. Kühn loves playing with form and freedom, with composition and improvisation, and he spices up his energetic concerts with a good dose of humour. A musician who crosses boundaries, he has influenced generations of young artists, and is one of the few clarinettists to define a playing style for his instrument. His love of musical adventure unites him tonight with young band colleagues Johannes Fink, Ronny Graupe and Christian Lillinger, together with whom he only recently won another jazz Echo Prize for his project »Rolf Kühn Unit: Stereo«.
