KUHN FU, a jazz-rock-psychedelia band, is led by guitarist and composer Christian Kühn, who lives in Berlin. The band, consisting of a strong brass section, a driving rhythm group, and himself on the red Telecaster, plays strange, beautiful, high-energy, and versatile compositions. Founded in 2012, KUHN FU has released seven albums to date, was nominated for the Composition of the Year 2023 for the German Jazz Award, and has extensively toured Europe, playing over four hundred concerts in twenty-three countries. Zappa meets cabaret; surf sounds and metal riffs ride on the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, while Shakespeare, Brecht, and Monty Python serve as patrons.

"Kuhn Fu" lives up to its martial name. The multicultural jazz ensemble brings enormous energy to the stage and is simultaneously a demonstration of the wonderful coexistence in music. Süddeutsche Zeitung
This is how jazz, or the improv stuff, can come today: unkempt and ready to take risks. We bow to JAZZ PODIUM (Best Albums - Top 3)
This double album deserves an audience beyond jazz specialists, and if Kuhn Fu performs live anywhere near you: go see them! BR Kulturnacht
It is a wilful form of jazz rock (or rock jazz), between parody and great seriousness, full of energy and pressing individuality. JazzZeitung
