about

The first of two quartet albums with Michael Moore and John Hollenbeck, with John Schröder on guitar and bass guitar, recorded just after our first couple of gigs in late 1998.

"Michael Moore is in peak form and perfectly suited to the pianist's style…The eight tunes never tire, in part because of the diversity but also due to the fascinating angular lines of Kaufmann who occupies that gray area between in and out genres. Like a modern-day Mingus, Kaufmann knows how to use his sidemen to key advantage."
Steven Loewy, The All Music Guide to Jazz (rating:4 1/2 stars)

"Throughout, the band spews forth a quiet storm via bubbly melodies, burgeoning rhythms, and inventive soloing. Essentially, Kaufmann shines as a young stylist who possesses an exceptional compositional pen as these works impart a lasting impression. Hence, Double Exposure is among the finest and most refreshing modern jazz releases of 2000. Highly recommended!"
Glenn Astarita, allaboutjazz.com

"From the outset, we are blown away by the dynamism, the power, coherence and virtuosity of the music of the German pianist Achim Kaufmann. Tremendously well conceived and well played, vigorous, bouncy, this music very skilfully knows how to balance between the extremes…"
Jean Buzelin, Jazzman (France)

"Harmonically, that Bartók connection is significant, bringing extraordinary coherence to the many compositional games Kaufmann plays with pitch sets, while the pianist's exposure to the intricacies of M-Base provides his music with a sense of rhythmic structure too often lacking in today's progressive jazz. Certainly a name to look out for in years to come. Leo Feigin strikes gold again."
Dan Warburton, paristransatlantic.com
