Over the past several years numerous musicians have grown out of the Brooklyn music scene to hold great respect in the community of the jazz world. A personal creative approach to composition, and a cooperative approach to the business side have made the Brooklyn jazz scene an innovative grooming ground for the next generation of jazz artists. One of the most creative artists on that field is drummer/composer Tim Kuhl. Kuhl has maintained his own ensemble while having performed with a number of jazz greats such as Mike Formanek, Josh Roseman, & Alan Ferber to name just a few. His compositional genius, aided by his masterful approach to the drum kit place him in the forefront of the young artist jazz community.
PRESS QUOTES
"An adept songwriter, Kuhl's memorable melodies are bolstered by rich harmonies and unfussy arrangements. Weaving the emotionally direct tunefulness of rock music with lush jazz harmonies and the spaciousness of chamber music, his writing ignores genre boundary lines while maintaining a singular thematic focus ... forbearers of great things to come from an impressive new voice." - Troy Collins, AAJ Senior Editor 2009.
"Brooklyn-based drummer Tim Kuhl has been busy supporting a who’s who list of jazz artists .. Kuhl shines as a focused leader, armed with a strong compositional pen, and he combines the best of many musical worlds throughout." – Glenn Astarita, ejazznews.com 2009.
"Kuhl shows that he is an avant-garde performer who goes where other composers fear to tread." - Susan Frances, Jazz Review 2009.
"Drummer Tim Kuhl is surely an active and integral member of a new generation of young and very talented players calling New York home and helping to further shape an already exciting jazz scene." - Damian Erskine, Bass Musician Magazine 2009.
"Kuhl continues to show why he’s the downtown drummer to keep an ear out for as he serves up a solid second helping as a leader. A smart modern jazz outing that has a distinct New York feel, this drummer knows how to give everyone else some as well. A solid bet for jazzy young ears and those who wish to have them." - Chris Spector - Midwest Record 2009
"Kuhl’s insistent rhythms and strong backbeats encase a group effort that finds itself stuck deep in a groove rut 30 feet deep." - Walter Kolosky, Pulsar Sound 2009.
"Kuhl has himself up in the mix and is an ever-present force ... Kuhl and his like-minded musicians have coined a sound that is both melodically accessible and improvisationally impressive." - Elliot Simon, AAJNY 2009.
"...It’s an impressively diverse collection of melodically and rhythmically captivating songs without words. Kuhl’s compositions are remarkably tuneful, and the crew he’s assembled: Mark Aanderud on piano; Nir Felder on electric guitar; JC Kuhl on saxes; Rick Parker on trombone and Jeff Reed on bass sink their teeth into them with gusto." - Lucid Culture 2008.
"Another member of the Brooklyn jazz underground surfaces as drummer Kuhl shows what he’s been woodsheding the last three years. A smart, forward looking set that takes jazz to the next stage for contemporary ears that want something new and juicy to enjoy." - Chris Spector, Midwest Record 2008.
"...Not everybody's cup of java, perhaps, but Tim Kuhl's "Nemesis" is a calming sojourn to the cerebral era of free jazz, when contemplation, dissonance and space were not considered dirty words." - Bill Barnes, Jazz.com 2008.
"...In addition to being a good drummer – what other way could I put it? – Kuhl is an exceptional composer... in the end I walk away with a story in my mind told to me in a way only a really talented composer could." - Walter Kolosky Jazz.com 2008.
"It's not that common to hear collective improvisation executed with such precision and clarity of individual voices in the polyphonic mix." - Samuel Chell AAJ Senior Editor. 2008.
"...Oh right...and then there's Tim Kuhl's nonstop pulse full of swing." - Mark Saleski Jazz.com 2008.
