Kurt
Rosenwinkel Group Born in Philadelphia, Rosenwinkel attended Berklee College of Music, but dropped out to play with Gary Burton and later Paul Motian’s Electric Bebop Band. Currently residing in Europe, his latest recording is “Deep Song,” which Jazzreview.com described as “a mixture of joy and mystery.” In order to get to know him better, we asked Kurt to answer a few questions. Here’s what he had to say: What is the first recording you remember
hearing as a child? What job would you
have if you weren’t a jazz musician? What’s the most exotic place you’ve
traveled to as a musician? What’s the last book you’ve
read? What’s your
favorite tune? What’s your
favorite jazz venue? Who is your greatest
musical influence? How much do you practice each week? To read a review of Kurt's Stanford Jazz Festival performance written by Richard Scheinin for the San Jose Mercury News, click here for our "Media Archives" page. To find out more about Kurt, go to kurtrosenwinkel.com |
“Uncompromising
and uncommonly inspired”—so said Joshua Redman of guitarist
Kurt Rosenwinkel. Redman continues his profuse
praise: “...he is a man of many musical virtues. HIs technique
is prodigious. His ears are huge.
His time is solid. His groove is ferocious.... his
ideas are often surprising, sometimes shocking,
but always compelling and inevitably satisfying.
His is an adventurous soloist, an empathic
accompanist, and a poetic composer.”
