Achim Kaufmann and Michael Moore have worked together for more than 25 years. For much of that time, they were among Amsterdam's estimable expatriate community. The American clarinetist and alto saxophonist settled there in 1982 and never left. The German pianist arrived in the Netherlands in the mid-'90s and stayed until 2009. He's lived in Berlin ever since. There's a remarkable chemistry between the two, judging from their album trilogy Nothing Something, Something Nothing and Furthermore, which was recorded in Berlin. The music is of an unequaled clarity, whether it’s duo improvisation (Nothing Something), compositions (Something Nothing) or variations on the music of Herbie Nichols (Furthermore). Michael Moore is renowned all over the world for his beautiful tone and his rich musical imagination, which links the American tradition to the anarchy of the Amsterdam-based ICP Orchestra, of which he is a member. The piano playing and compositions of Achim Kaufmann have associations with jazz, folk and chamber music. Kaufmann was awarded the German SWR Jazz Award in 2001, and the prestigious Albert Mangelsdorff award in 2015.
