Cornetists are rare in jazz and great ones are hard to find. Kirk Knuffke is one of them and a new album catches him in full flight, with bassist Mark Helias and drummer Bill Goodwin. Brightness: Live In Amsterdam was recorded at the Bimhuis, a much loved venue with superb acoustics. Knuffke always uses singing as the starting point for his compositions and he stepped up to the mike to add some vocals as well.
Brightness: Live In Amsterdam will be released via RPF Records on CD, limited edition neon violet vinyl and black standard vinyl. Release date: February 21.
