The album “Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic XIV – KOMEDA” recorded together with Joachim Kühn New Trio received the German Critics Award / Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.

The jury’s justification reads: “Released under the simple title “Komeda”, the album documents a deeply emotional tribute to Krzysztof Komeda – a pioneer of new European jazz. Pianist Joachim Kühn, a friend and admirer of the tragically deceased visionary, presents his compositions in an individual way, entering new musical territories The successful symbiosis of his New Trio with the Atom String Quartet makes the musicians’ interpretations both virtuosic and spiritual.
