Gravity Without Airs features the three world-class musicians on both Knuffke compositions and in open form, creating a tour-de-force of poetry and verve, melody and mystery.\u003cbr\u003eThis is Knuffke's debut as a leader for TAO Forms. It follows on his elemental contribution to James Brandon Lewis' Jesup Wagon - one of the most acclaimed jazz releases of 2021, securing the coveted top spot in both the JazzTimes Critics Poll and the international Jazz Critics Poll established by Francis Davis. Accolades for the cornetist's own recent work as leader include NPR's Jazz Album of the Year laurel for 2017's Cherryco, his homage to Don Cherry, a prime influence. DownBeat praised the way that album showcased Knuffke's \"nonchalant versatility and ebullient melodic gifts,\" while esteemed critic Francis Davis called it \"nothing short of spectacular.\" Davis also wrote the liner notes for Gravity Without Airs, noting the allure of Knuffke's instrumental aplomb: \"Kirk plays as if his cornet is a part of him - he plays with it, not just on it.\" On his guiding artistic impulse, Kirk Knuffke says: \"I'm concerned with making beautiful music. Beauty is always first, though not in a precious way. It can be in a rough way, too.\" A prolific, lauded record-maker, Gravity Without Airs fulfills his poetic aims as well as any recording he has made. This work finds Knuffke in the rare, even unique, trio format of cornet, piano and double-bass. His partners are two ever-estimable pillars of creative music, and the work they've created together here brims with melody and mystery, intimacy and dynamism.\u003c\/p\u003e Shop online at 24\/7.\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43335921369309,"sku":"642623801017","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/k9eaoe0eczhofj4bq7wy.jpg?v=1731282926"},{"product_id":"kirk-knuffke-super-blonde","title":"Kirk Knuffke- Super Blonde (CD)","description":" \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45700677402845,"sku":"716043196425","price":25.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/500x500bb_f2b51b41-2bd9-4065-b8f3-57a2f3061217.jpg?v=1771014069"},{"product_id":"kirk-knuffke-super-blonde-1","title":"Kirk Knuffke- Super Blonde (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"colorful, witty, unpredictable, inventive and swinging\" is what jazz critic Scott Yanow observes of cornetist\/composer Knuffke.

Following acclaimed projects like Cherryco, Tight Like This, Play Date, and Super Blonde, Knuffke again redefines ensemble possibilities with daring instrumentation and imaginative repertoire. His warm, distinctive cornet tone-played on the rare double shepherd's-crook horn-anchors a program balancing tradition and innovation. Standards, early jazz gems, and soulful classics are transformed through collective improvisation, while Knuffke's originals sparkle with wit and lyricism. Critics have praised his ability to honour past masters while sounding entirely himself. This new release continues that legacy: colourful, inventive, swinging, and deeply memorable.This new release confirms his stature and offers another dazzling chapter in his ongoing story. For longtime admirers, it is a welcome continuation; for newcomers, it is an ideal entry point into the world of a cornetist whose artistry bridges past and present, inside and outside, swing and freedom. \"Cornetist Kirk Knuffke's exquisite taste is long established. _at aesthetic has always arrived subtly and cleanly, as it does on this beguiling new album\".
