Our Take
Our Take
JOACHIM KUHN's "Melodic Ornette Coleman" is a delightful fusion of jazz and whimsy that will have you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure. The German pianist's interpretation of the iconic Ornette Coleman's compositions is nothing short of genius, blending intricate melodies with unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.
From the moment you press play, KUHN takes you on a musical journey that is as unpredictable as it is enjoyable. His masterful piano playing is complemented by a stellar lineup of musicians who bring their own unique flair to each track, creating a tapestry of sound that is both complex and accessible.
Highlights of the album include the funky grooves of "Ramblin'" and the wistful melancholy of "Lonely Woman", both of which showcase KUHN's versatility and skill as a musician. But it's not all seriousness and introspection - tracks like "Turnaround" and "When Will the Blues Leave" inject a healthy dose of playfulness and humour into the mix, keeping things fun and fresh throughout.
In conclusion, "Melodic Ornette Coleman" is a must-listen for any jazz fan looking to expand their horizons and discover something truly special. KUHN's inventive take on Coleman's timeless compositions is a breath of fresh air in a genre that can sometimes feel stale and repetitive. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.
