Steve Kuhn Trio: Live At Birdland
by Joel Roberts
Although Steve Kuhn has recorded as a leader in a variety of settings since the 1960s, has played in the bands of legends like Stan Getz, Kenny Dorham and even John Coltrane (he preceded McCoy Tyner in Coltrane's quartet), he's seldom mentioned in the pantheon of jazz piano giants. His Blue Note debut, Live at Birdland, ...
Steve Kuhn Trio: Live at Birdland
by Ken Dryden
With so many major jazz labels shying away from signing veteran artists in favor of far less accomplished youngsters, it is refreshing to see Steve Kuhn finally leading his first Blue Note release.

Steve Kuhn Trio: Live at Birdland
by J Hunter
You have to crank the volume hard to hear Bill Evans' whisper-soft intro to Miles' “So What" on Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959). When you hear it, though, you know something special this way comes.

Steve Kuhn Trio: Pavane for a Dead Princess
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
Anything that pianist Steve Kuhn does is likely to be beautifully executed and tasteful, and Pavane for a Dead Princess is no exception. Here, he and his empathic collaborators David Finck (bass) and Billy Drummond (drums) address themselves to the stock classical repertoire, jazzing up eleven popular pieces from Debussy, Rachmaninov, Tchaikowsky, Grieg, Brahms and Chopin. ...
