99999 (edel) My Shining Hour [VINYL]

On 'My Shining Hour' a splendid team has come together to pay tribute to this giant of American's jazz history. The two protagonists, who look back on their four decades of joint sessions and stage experiences, are the doyen of German piano jazz Paul Kuhn and the brilliant and warm-hearted voice of Greetje Kauffeld. Arlen's music is timeless. This fact is vividly demonstrated by two young guests, who Kauffeld and Kuhn's trio (Paul G. Ulrich, bass and Willy Ketzer, drums) invited to the stage, when they performed at the Muddy's Club, Weinheim to record this album during two evening sessions. Paulo Morello (guitar) and Kim Barth (saxophone, flute), who have previously released the well-received German-Danish-Brazilian project 'The Bossa Nova Legends'. They display an airy, carefree magic full of surprising intros and intermezzi. Different generations who contribute to a classic jazz excursion: a real "Shining Hour" for Greetje Kauffeld's rich catalogue. Limited audiophile signature edition, hand signed and numbered, 180g virgin vinyl. Mastered and pressed in Germany and limited to 999 copies.
