Info for Looking Back

When it comes to looking back, Paul Kuhn has an illustrious 60-year career in music to reflect upon. This album, with his Big Band, was recorded at the Philharmonie in Cologne, where he has given a concert every year since 1986. And it features some of the great popular standards and jazz instrumentals of all time. And, it goes without saying that it swings from start to finish.

The present production was literally recorded during the lasst days of the century, on December 27, 1999 in the sold-out philharmonic hall of Cologne.

A turn of the year always calls for retrospective reminiscing which is the reason why Paul Kuhn was inclined to call this live-recording of his big band concert 'Looking Back'.

During the 30's snd 40's the big bands came into existence and so it seemed obvious to play the authentic arrangements of the bands in those days.

The other part of the repertoire consists of melodies that have accompanied him for the last decades - popular tunes that, as he believes, fit very well into the successful concert series 'Jazz Pops'.
