For Rolf was a generation younger than Goodman and this reflected his musical inclinations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are those that claim that the big bands played no part in the development of modern jazz. However, the contributions of the Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman and Stan Kenton orchestras, as well as those of the constantly experimenting German radio orchestras, prove otherwise. And hardly anybody with ears thinks that the clarinet is a relic of the swing era. Rolf Kühn is just one of the four giants, next to Buddy DeFranco, Jimmy Giuffre and Eddie Daniels, who refute this assertion. Each one of them, in his very own way, moved Benny Goodman's style forward. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDecades later Rolf's dream now comes true via his new recording on In \u0026amp; Out Records, 'Bouncing With Bud'. Recorded with the NDR Big Band it features guest soloists Roberto Di Gioia (piano), Lennart Axelsson (trumpet), Joe Gallardo (trombone) and also three numbers penned by bop genius (and album dedicatee) Bud Powell, arranged by Bill Dobbins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel: Rolf Kühn - clarinet, with The NDR Bigband, Hamburg, directed by Rolf Kühn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLennart Axelsson, Ingolf Burkhardt, Johannes Faber (trumpet, flugelhorn), Joe Gallardo, Wolfgang Ahlers, Egon Christmann (trombones), Lukas Schmid (bass trombone, tuba), Fiete Felsch (alto saxophone), Christof Lauer, Lutz Büchner, Gabriel Coburger (tenor saxophones), Stephan Pfeiffer-Galilea (baritone saxophone), Roberto Di Gioia (piano), Lucas Lindholm (bass), Hans Dekker (drums)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32698129711201,"sku":"0798747708128","price":13.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_293184_17553814.jpg?v=1719585852","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0798747708128-bouncing-with-bud","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
