“Originally recognized as a finely nuanced pianist with Kvalda, Kujanp\u00e4\u00e4 continues to expand his artistic identity. I recently had the chance to witness his performance at Kerava Jazz, where he showcased his powerful expressiveness, mostly from behind the grand piano, in a duo setting with Joakim Bergh\u00e4ll. In recent years, Kujanp\u00e4\u00e4 has also embraced the Hammond organ, and his playing on the organ during the Gr\u00f6ntz gig was equally impressive. Kujanp\u00e4\u00e4 is one of those organists who takes on the bassist\u2019s role with his left hand. While nothing truly replaces a dedicated bassist, an organ-driven band like this must be seen from a different perspective. The basslines created by the organist add a unique character to the group, with their stripped-down intensity and a distinctive groove. What\u2019s truly remarkable is how independently Kujanp\u00e4\u00e4\u2019s hands seem to \u2018think\u2019: while his left hand remained disciplined and loyal to rhythmical precision, adorned with subtle accents, it placed no constraints on the freedom and creativity of his right hand. For a non-musician, the autonomy of such coordination is almost incomprehensible!” \u2013 Pentti Ronkanen<\/strong>, Suomijazz.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
