Biography by Chris Kelsey: Although not a free jazz musician, per se, Kuhn has been an avant-gardist; he began attempting a fusion of contemporary classical elements with jazz very early in his career. Kuhn's intense virtuosity is a reflection of his training. He studied classical composition and piano for 12 years, beginning when he was a small child. He performed as a classical pianist up until 1961, at which point he began playing in a Prague-based jazz quintet. He led a trio from 1962-1966, and in 1964 began playing with his much-older brother Rolf Kuhn, an accomplished clarinetist. In the '70s, Joachim Kuhn led his own groups, and played with the violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. Kuhn had a measure of commercial success in the '70s. His star faded a bit in the '80s, but Kuhn kept active, playing challenging forms of jazz and recording occasionally. A 1997 release, Colors: Live From Leipzig, a duo with Ornette Coleman, helped fuel new interest in Kuhn; both men were in top form and the album received excellent reviews.

  • GREAT!! I used to have a cassette I bought on sale and just couldn't stop listening to it. I was totally into Fusion at the time.

  • Thanks, amigo.  Through listening to 1970's era Passport I discovered Kurt Cress & Phillip Catherine, both featured here. What a fantastic album, standing the test of time. Certainly among my most favorite musical forms, performed here by some of the world's most talented musicians. Bravo.
