Wonderful- all his 30s dance band experience is evident in his playing. There’s a lot of hard work in that effortless style, which many have tried (and failed) to imitate
I bought an LP of Charlie's music for my Father with my pocket money (and a little help from my Mum) in the early 60's. I still have it. My father died when I was 12. I treasure that record, and on the rare occasions I play it i think fondly of my dear Father.
To some folk, it might sound boring, but it's actually top-notch stuff. His use of dynamics is fantastic. It's not easy to play in Charlie's style at all.
He had many imitators, off the top of my head I can only think of one, Billy Thornburn. Who released a few piano medley records in the late 30s, early 40s, the style is very obviously copied from Kunz and it doesn’t quite capture his magic.
The world of popular music was so innocently enjoyable in those days - I remember happily now in my eighties.
Brilliant pianist
Wonderfully sensitive playing❣️

I did not know about Charlie and his music until I met his 97 old son recently. I am loving Charlie's music, so calming.
Is his son still alive?

Kunz a fantastic pianist who makes me dream since 75 years.
Excellent music🎶 relaxing chilling music my grandma got me onto him im 51 now and still listen to his music 👍👍👍
Charlie Kunz was in a class of his own - Magical.
Very true!

Seems there are a lot of great grandsons / daughters of well known 1930 and 40s musicians around. Can you prove it?
