Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on March 15, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Joachim Kühn! May your day swing harder than a jam session with Don Cherry and groove smoother than those legendary collaborations alongside Phil Woods. You've improvised through life brilliantly—just like when you teamed up effortlessly with Ray Lema or Barre Phillips—and we’re still trying to figure out how you make jazz look so easy.

Here's wishing that this year brings even more timeless melodies and unforgettable rhythms into your journey. Keep dazzling us as gracefully as when sharing the stage with Hellmut Hattler or Jean-Luc Ponty; after all these years, you're still hitting every note perfectly in tune!
