At 80 years old, Joachim Kühn continues to push boundaries with his French trio, consisting of bassist Thibault Cellier and drummer Sylvain Darrifourcq. Their music is intuitive, spontaneous and rooted in the „French way“ that combines lightness, speed and elegance. At the same time he can be heard at following concerts during the fall:
Joachim Kühn French Trio

02.11.24 Berlin Intern. Jazztage

19.10.24 Leipzig Jazztage (Opening concert)

with Michael Olivera & Reinier Elizarde under the title “Wonderland”
Whereas the previous albums „Travesuras“ (2019) and „Vía de la Plata“ (2021) were still characterised by clear influences from flamenco and traditional Spanish music, García has now cast his net wider. There are flamenco borrowings on „Wonderland“, but they are more subtle and sit alongside a whole range of inspirations from modern jazz, classical music, pop, together with influences from the Caribbean and the Middle East. At the same time, „Wonderland“ is also about the inner search: Daníel Garcia invites his listeners to explore their own feelings and thoughts – in “this secret haven where our deepest illusions and most fervent hopes reside, guiding us through the labyrinth of life.
