KUHN FU

In the organizer's words:

Zappa meets cabaret; surf sounds and metal riffs ride the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, while Shakespeare, Brecht and Monty Python serve as godfathers. KUHN FU, a jazz-rock-psychedelia band, is led by Berlin-based guitarist and composer Christian Kühn. The multicultural international band with musicians from Turkey, Israel and England plays strangely beautiful energetic varied compositions with a touch of humor and psychedelic improvisational passages. Founded in 2012, KUHN FU has released seven albums to date, was nominated for Composition of the Year 2023 for the German Jazz Award, toured extensively throughout Europe and performed over four hundred concerts in twenty-three countries.

"Kuhn Fu" lives up to its martial name. The multicultural jazz ensemble brings enormous energy to the stage and is also a demonstration of the wonderful togetherness in music. - Süddeutsche Zeitung

This is how jazz or the improv stuff can come across today, unkempt and willing to take risks. We bow our heads - JAZZ PODIUM Magazine (Best Albums - Top 3)

This double album deserves an audience beyond the jazz specialists and if Kuhn Fu performs live anywhere near you: go there! - BR Culture Night

It is an idiosyncratic form of jazz rock (or rock jazz), between parody and great seriousness, full of energy and urgent willfulness. - JazzNewspaper
