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.

To complete the quartet with the drummer and pianist Marcel Gustke Chris Gall.
