Review by Jeremy Fuksa

Kurt Henkels Spielt Grand Mit Vieren is a refreshing album that showcases the talents of the German jazz pianist. The album features a variety of tracks that showcase Henkels' skills on the grand piano, accompanied by a quartet of talented musicians.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively track "Swinging in the Rain," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The quartet's tight rhythm section provides a solid foundation for Henkels' playful and intricate piano melodies.

Throughout the album, Henkels' compositions range from the whimsical "Jazz Waltz" to the intimate and introspective "Reflections." The quartet's chemistry is evident on every track, with each member contributing to the overall sound of the album.

Henkels' playing is technically impressive, but it's his musicality that really shines through. He has a knack for creating memorable melodies and harmonies that stay with the listener long after the album has ended.
