Following an invitation from the Deutschlandfunk, Cologne to record our next album at their famous Kammermusiksaal with it’s exceptional acoustics we recorded „The Sixth Sense“ continuing on what we had created from the very beginning. For the pure pleasure of it’s wonderful smooth sound and because we wanted to connect the diverse sounds we were able to produce, additionally we overdubbed four brass instruments. I think that on this recording you can really hear how the band has developed over the years. Despite the many technical aspects of the production, the feel of our live performances is still there…the interaction among the musicians, the energy and spontaneity.(Heinrich von Kalnein)

An exciting European trio… – definitely creative. (Downbeat)

There’s a drive and melodic beauty to the music of Kahiba that makes this European trio simply infectious. Led by Heinrich von Kalnein, a German saxophonist and flutist, The Sixth Sense is the group's third effort, and it's a hit. The album's title track could almost serve on the soundtrack for a James Bond film. Drummer Gregor Hilbe drives the tune’s galloping beat and adds some very cool electronics color, while Christian Bakanic and Kalnein take turns improvising over the rhythms on accordion and flute, respectively. On the fantastically uplifting „Pfeil“, the trio adds three trombones and a tuba to deliver a bright palette of sound for Kalnein to glide over on tenor. The larger ensemble slides in and out on the album with great effect, especially on songs like „The Sun“, a nifty Kalnein creation made even better by Hilbe’s love of offbeat rhythms and Bakanic's overdubbed float between accordion and Fender Rhodes. What makes Kahiba so good is that they have a „sixth sense“ with each other. All three are gifted musicians who have played together for a long, long time. The five Kalnein-penned tunes demonstrate his chops as both a composer and arranger. And the group's ability to be in the pocket and take the music outside, too, creates surprise after surprise. Overall, this is an album that's satisfying and intriguing. I love this trio. (Frank Alkyer, Downbeat)
