Kauflin favors a clarity of touch and ideas. His writing is also balanced, tempering post-bop tendencies with the assurances of the gospel church.

What separates Kauflin from the others is the soulfulness of his repertoire ... this is a musician who wants to do more than make you admire his viruosity.
