Whether he is playing solo, trio or quintet, Kenny Barron is recognized the world over as a master of performance and composition. Honored by The National Endowment for the Arts and one of the undisputed masters of the jazz piano, Kenny Barron has an unmatched ability to mesmerize audiences with his elegant playing, sensitive melodies and infectious rhythms. The Los Angeles Times named him “one of the top jazz pianists in the world” and Jazz Weekly calls him “The most lyrical piano player of our time.” Don’t miss this very special engagement with one of the most important and influential mainstream jazz pianists since the bebop era.
