About Album

 

With “Kind of Cool” Wolfgang Haffner moves between tradition and contemporary jazz, injecting new life into some of the "coolest" jazz standards. In the style of the legendary Modern Jazz Quartet and with the spirit of Cool Jazz these old jazz classics sound young at heart in timeless elegance - relaxed, sophisticated, trusting in themselves, finally one of a kind, thanks to the personality of the musicians involved. Wolfgang Haffner being on drums, all the band members are international jazz stars including Christopher Dell on vibraphone, Jan Lundgren on piano, Dan Berglund on bass, Dusko Goykovich on trumpet and Jukka Perko on alto saxophone. Three compositions by Haffner himself complement the album.
