There are artists who uphold what’s already been defined in music and then there are artists who do the defining. Guitarist, composer, and educator Kurt Rosenwinkel undisputedly sits among the trailblazers in the latter group. 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. The band will release a new album on Heartcore Records in 2023.
"Rosenwinkel's music is the sound of the future - just like bebop once was."
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"There was a streak of otherworldliness in his playing, but also a sense of deep familiarity."
NEW YORK TIMES
"Kurt Rosenwinkel is a genius - he really is..."
