The lineup on Promises Kept says it all: Steve Kuhn with strings. Kuhn
is a jazz pianist whose recordings may have been out of the jazz
mainstream for most of the five decades his career has spanned, but it
hardly matters. Kuhn's style is signature, though his explorations have
taken him to many different terrains in the world of jazz, from knotty
post-bop to pointillism and modalism and through the nefarious world of
20th century vanguard composition to the place where listeners find him
now: the place of a supreme and unabashed lyricism that is as
sophisticated and forward-looking as it is historical and inclusive.
