Bernd Eilts's video: Christian K hn Kuhn Fu the Interview March 2019

Christian Kühn (DE), bandleader of Kuhn Fu, talks to Bernd Ihno Eilts / The Groningen Report, at his livingroom, Groningen, the Netherlands, March 23rd - 2019. Many thanks to Christian Kühn! Interview, Camera & Edit: Bernd Ihno Eilts. What you should know about Christian Kühn/Kuhn: “Chain the Snake” is the third and new-2019-album of the band “Kuhn Fu”, founded by Christian Kühn (DE) in our lovely city Groningen (NL) while he was still studying at the Prins Claus Conservatorium. Since 7 years Kuhn Fu is touring like crazy, 23 countries have been reached so far, a quartet feat. Christian Kühn (guitar + compositions), Ziv Taubenfeld (bassclarinet), Esat Ekincioglu (double bass) and George Hadow (drums). This German-Israelian-Turkish-British melting pot of fascinating energies, produce music that can be described as a mixture between “cabaret and schizophrenia” (Concerto, AT). The Austrian “Der Standard” says: “The band around guitarist Christian Kühn relies on style duels, as US saxophonist John Zorn used to, and it sounds massive”. Jazzwise, UK wrote: “If we wanted an Austrian Billy Jenkins, who better than Christian Kühn and his Kuhn Fu combo. Manic in terms of guitaring, puppet-dancing and mention-the-war humour, he roughed up the festival with a bucketload of zany humour, in the guise of avant speed-jazz.” Heavy grooves, a wide dynamic range and lyrical melodies are the key elements of Kuhn Fu's music. Influences range from from 70s rock music a post-romantic jazz disorder to Duke Ellington to Peter Brötzmann to Frank Zappa to Ludwig van Beethoven, which gives the music a unique balance between postrock/noise, bluesy cliches and free improvisation. “If DADA, even Fluxus, would still be active as a modern sound vehicle, we should enjoy that naughty ingredient in the sound-jungle of Kuhn Fu and be grateful forever! Thank you Christian Kühn for this huge gift!” (The Groningen Report, NL). Please enjoy my new video interview with Christian Kühn! We had a lovely talk about Berlin life, harmonies, composing, the audience, touring and Kuhn Fu of course! ühn For more information: www.kuhnfumusic.com www.kuhnfumusic.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/kuhnfumusic www.facebook.com/christiankuehnmusic www.TheGroningenReport.nl www.facebook.com/TheGroningenReport www.facebook.com/bernd.ihno.eilts
