Steve Kuhn - At This Time '2016; 2017

Tracks list

	       Any chance that one has to hear a master musician in his or her preferred
setting is a gift. For all the one-offs and ensemble by committee type of gigs
that spring up, it is the reunion with familiar collaborators for a stint of a
few nights that really becomes integral for the best performances.

On his new recording, At This Time, pianist Steve Kuhn found himself just in the
right time and place to record a trio record that feels timeless and truly
inspired. The ensemble, which features legendary bassist Steve Swallow and
drummer Joey Baron, was happy to find itself in an extended engagement at
Birdland Jazz Club in New York in September 2015 and found time to get into the
recording studio before heading to Europe on tour. 

Of course, Kuhn has been one of jazz s foremost pianists for over half a
century. He has been fortunate to accompany some of the most important voices of
his generation, including John Coltrane, Sheila Jordan and Kenny Dorham, but it
is his work in the trio setting that has been where he has made his name. 

Kuhn s current trio features a contemporary, and an important innovator of a
later generation. Steve Swallow has been at the forefront of contemporary music
for decades. Whether performing alongside Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley or Carla
Bley, Swallow has been one of the most important figures on both the acoustic
and electric bass. Though twenty years younger than Kuhn and Swallow, drummer
Joey Baron has cemented himself as one of the most well rounded musicians, at
home in the most classic of jazz ensembles and in the most raucous of the
avant-garde.
