Cornetist and composer Kirk Knuffke is the winner of Downbeat Magazine’s “Rising Star”critics poll for 2015. A recipient of the Jerome Foundation composers grant, Kirk has released 15 recordings as a leader or co-leader. “One of modern jazz’s most skilled navigators of the divide between inside and outside, freedom and swing”, he has “full command of his most demanding instrument” – All About Jazz. Kirk placed in the top five in the World in the El Intruso critics poll and was one of 6 nominees for Trumpeter of the year by the Jazz Journalist Association.
