…is the title of the DVD ‘A Story of Jazz in Europe’. I’ve been watching a slew of these inspiring disks about jazz, generously bestowed on me by a friend who worked at Rainbow Media. This one featured unfamiliar (to me) European musicians who carry on the tradition of righteous creativity, unfettered by tradition or style -thus the title. I’ve known of Jan Garbarek forever, + Zawinul and Reinhardt, but I’m now obsessed with Joachim Kuhn<\/a>, a German pianist whose work I’d love to be painting to.
