"Kurt Rosenwinkel's music is the sound of the future—just like bebop once was.”—Chicago Tribune
“One of modern jazz’s most versatile string men” (The Observer), guitarist/vocalist Kurt Rosenwinkel has collaborated with Brad Mehldau, Brian Blade, and Eric Clapton, who referred to Kurt as “a genius.” His latest work, Caipi, is “a staggeringly good album of heart-warming, memorable tunes” (AllAboutJazz) that intermingle Brazilian pop, reflective singer-songwriter balladeering, and undercurrents of sun-kissed ‘60s psychedelia. Thought-provoking lyrics, unconventional multilayered melodies, and incandescent soloing with Olivia Trummer keys/voice, Frederico Heliodoro bass/voice, Bill Campbell drums, Pedro Martins guitar/keys/voice, Antonio Loureiro percussion/voice.
With a career spanning almost twenty-five years, collaborating with dynamic peers like Brad Mehldau, Brian Blade, Mark Turner, Joshua Redman, Chris Potter; and esteemed jazz elders like Joe Henderson, Paul Motian and Gary Burton, Rosenwinkel’s indelible mark in music is the consummation of being steeped in the rich and deep traditions of jazz, springing off of the shoulders of such vital underpinnings to elevate his own art to new heights, evolving the language in a way no other guitarist has since his arrival.
