KURT ROSENWINKEL BAND
Kurt Rosenwinkel-guitar, Aaron Parks-piano, Ben Street-bass, Ted Poor-drums
Together with his peer Brad Mehldau, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel is counted among the all-stars of contemporary jazz. Their careers have interesting parallels; for example, Rosenwinkel’s most recent CD The Remedy appeared simultaneously with Mehldau’s CD Live. Both albums were recorded at the legendary club The Village Vanguard. On The Remedy Rosenwinkel plays his own compositions, in which his virtuoso, but seemingly effortless licks merge perfectly with the piano playing of Aaron Goldberg. ‘Easily the most original guitar voice of the decade’ (Jazz Times).
