Very Kühn -][- On The Run –MP3– [Yellowbird Records, 2012] –

Incredible Coincidence or Divine Providence? Since there are actually two outstanding jazz musicians of the same name – one Axel Kühn a saxophonist among others, the SWR Big Band and for many years a fixture in Munich, the other is with its 29 years already one of the most sought after bassists in the Stuttgart scene, Jazz award winner Baden-Württemberg and beyond with his own band Kühntett extremely successful. Same name, same music – that is crying out for a common bond: Quartet The Very Bold!

The band’s name stands for a project of two musicians, the musical blend together beautifully. Their program includes mostly original songs whose roots lie in the bop, but are still open to influences of contemporary music and leave plenty of room for creative and modern game. To complete the quartet with the drummer and pianist Marcel Gustke Chris Gall.

Brandon Wright, Journeyman

“The wisdom of the journeyman is to work one day at a time,” begins the Cormac McCarthy quote that graces the inside cover of Brandon Wright’s new album, Journeyman. On his second release as a leader, the 30-year-old tenor saxophonist offers the fruits of his own journeyman days, a personal sound and beyond-his-years hard bop feel forged gig by gig alongside greats like Chuck Mangione, Doc Severinsen, and Fred Wesley.

Wright himself defines a journeyman as “someone who has learned a craft, finished his apprenticeship, and is now out there refining his trade so that one day he, too, can become a jazz master.”
