 The variety of Kühn’s pianism in this collection is quite remarkable.
 The listener is first welcomed into the inviting, comforting and regular pulse of Mal Waldron’s ‘Warm Canto’. And yet later, by complete contrast, Kühn’s own composition ‘Sintra’ gives a masterclass in freedom, delay and the alchemical art of keeping the listener waiting on tenterhooks.
 Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ is achingly soulful, whereas Kühn found the encouragement to revisit Bill Evans’ ‘Peace Piece’ from the dignity and restraint of classical pianist Igor Levit’s version.
 LP pressed on 180g vinyl.
