Despite this extensive experience he remains open for musical adventures
For ""Rolf Kühn & Tri-O"" the clarinettist teamed up with guitarist Ronny Graupe, bass player Johannes Fink, and drummer Christian Lillinger. Excellent musicians on the local scene in Berlin, young enough to be his sons, or even grandsons. Their improation is marked by a constant flow of give and take.
