Startling inventiveness, moment-to-moment creative sparks, and alchemical reactivity combine in always surprising ways throughout the work of cornetist and composer Kirk Knuffke. It may come as something of a surprise, then, to realize that he’s never released a live date as a leader. While Knuffke’s been an essential component of many a collaborator’s concert albums and of course logged countless hours on stages around the road, his own catalogue has been almost wholly crafted in recording studios.
