Dieter Thomas Kuhn and the SWR Big Band

Lavishly arranged with nostalgic show-biz glamour, yet always with that self-deprecating stylistic confidence that has made him a standout figure on the German music scene for decades.

Grand brass sections and classic big-band sounds blend with his unmistakable voice to create a vibrant soundscape that is both surprising and deeply familiar. Bring out the sunflowers!

Rainer Tempel, who draws on decades of big band experience, is responsible for the authentic sound and orchestral arrangements.

Under the musical direction and conceptual guidance of Kuhn’s well-known guiding force, Philipp Feldtkeller, he brings the songs to life with great attention to detail, casting them in a new, dazzling light and giving the album an unmistakable signature sound.
