Kurt Rosenwinkel Group

Discovered in his early 20s by Gary Burton, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel has had a magical career. Touring with legends Joe Henderson, Paul Motian, and Joe Lovano, he has appeared on over 50 albums with dozens of artists, and is rated the logical successor to Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell. Kurt�s signature sound?described as �...Cole Porter tunes refracted through some strange cubist prism�?has gone through some changes with his third CD on Verve, Heartcore. He has fused cutting-edge studio technology with a jazz aesthetic. Imbued with an edgy urban energy, these richly-textured compositions have pushed way beyond bop or any other strictly defined genre. The heartfelt results are still pure jazz, in the sense of being new, exciting, and challenging. With Aaron Goldberg piano, Joe Martin bass, and Carl Allen drums.

�Kurt Rosenwinkel is the young jazz-guitar god of the moment?and with good reason.� -Boston Phoenix
