K?HN,ROLF - The Best Is Yet To Come (Sealed) (LPBOX)

A German jazz musician of world standing, that was and remains a rare exception. The clarinettist Rolf K?hn belongs to this royal class. And in other respects, too, he ranks among the exceptional artists: Like no other he succeeded in making a name for himself on his instrument with a tone that remains completely unmistakable in different stylistic areas - warm, round and perfect. The experiences of a long and rich musical life resonate, maturity and wisdom. At the same time, however, Rolf K?hn is driven by an unrestrained curiosity, which repeatedly lets him leave the familiar, even the tried and tested paths behind. Sovereignty and perfection are as characteristic of his work as daring and risk-taking. In cooperation with Rolf K?hn himself, MPS has put together a limited 9 LP box set to celebrate the 90th birthday and the life of this true German jazz icon. The box set contains seven albums released on MPS including a new album exclusively contained in this box set with recordings from the Berlin Jazz Days 1966 and the Newport Festival 1967 - all newly mastered for vinyl. A 12-page box-sized booklet is also included. The box set is limited to 1.000 pieces worldwide. Included albums: Total Space (1975) Symphonic Swampfire (1979) Cucu Ear (1980) Stereo (2015 - first time on vinyl) Spotlights (2016 ? for the first time on vinyl) Yellow + Blue (2018 - first time on vinyl) Rolf + Joachim K?hn ?
