The KCCK Featured CD for February is “Swirl” from Michael Wolff. After a four-year battle with cancer, the pianist came out the other side completely healthy with plenty more life to live and music to make. The new disc, featuring bassist Ben Allison and drummer Allan Mednard, bears out Michael’s newfound appreciation for life’s joys with his inventive writing and arranging skills still intact. Some of that music will be heard when Wolff plays KCCK’s Taste of Jazz on April 26. “Swirl” is on Sunnyside Records. Purchase the CD.
