Harris Eisenstadt / Achim Kaufmann / Mark Dresser: Starmelodics
by John Sharpe
Canadian drummer and composer Harris Eisenstadt spans a broad spectrum. He has written for large ensemble, octets and small groups, in styles ranging from chamber to Senegalese pop.

Kaufmann / Moore / Van der Schyff: Kamosc
by Jerry D'Souza
Kamosc is the first recording by Achim Kaufmann, Michael Moore and Dylan van der Schyff, three improvisers who are known to let their imaginations rove in their music. However, the name of the band is a more formal invention: they've taken the first two letters of their last names and strung them together. This ...
Kaufmann / Moore / Van Der Schyff: Kamosc
by Nic Jones

Achim Kaufmann: Knives
by David Adler
Achim Kaufmann's first solo piano disc is a study in atonal expressionism and sonic adventurism, draped in dark mysteries. Recorded mainly at the Bimhuis in the pianist's home city of Amsterdam, Knives consists of eighteen fairly short pieces that showcase Kaufmann's technical excellence, his aptitude for instant orchestration, his imaginative use of “mixed techniques" (ie. prepared ...
Achim Kaufmann: Knives
by Christian Carey
Amsterdam-based pianist Achim Kaufmann combines the fluidity of modern jazz with the extended techniques of avant-garde concert music on his latest solo album, Knives. Many of the works feature Kaufmann playing inside the piano. Besides plucking strings, he attacks the instrument's interior with a number of devices: rulers, a small hand sander, a piano tuner's wedge, ...
