Joachim Kühn
Joachim (* 1944 in Leipzig) startet his jazz career in 1962 when he joined the quintet of Ernst-Ludwig Petrowski. In 1966, he moved to Western Germany and performed together with his brother Rolf (clarinet). In 1968, Joachim moved to Paris, where he founded his own groups, and played together with Jean-Luc Ponty, Philip Catherine, Alphonse Mouzon, Pierre Courbois, Jan Akkerman, Billy Cobham, Zbigniew Seifert and Aldo Romano. Today, he lives in Paris and on Ibiza.
 
He meanwhile is a pianist of international reputation. The organ is not his first choice. Only a few tracks can be found where he plays the Hammond, for example on his brother Rolf's album "Going To The Rainbow" or the album "Dear Prof. Leary" of Barney Wilen. On Joachim's album "Sunshower", a project with Jan Akkerman and Ray Gomez, he preferred synthesizers, and the B3 is only one of many. Of greater interest for organ fans is a release by Mark Nauseef in 1983, on which, among others, the young Markus Stockhausen can be heard. Joachim plays the piano and the church organ.
