Kind of Cool

On Kind of Cool, Wolfgang Haffner moves between tradition and modernity, taking inspiration from Cool Jazz and the Great American Songbook.

In the tradition of the legendary Modern Jazz Quartet and with the spirit of Cool, timeless jazz classics are elegantly performed. Incredibly relaxed, sophisticated, self-assured and ultimately special. Three original compositions round out the album.

It takes a true all-star band to make music sound as it does on Kind of Cool: international jazz stars who have nothing left to prove, simply enjoying the pleasure of making these pieces sound like what they are - some of the most beautiful compositions produced by 20th century music.
