Peter Friedman Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Kenny Barron has long been one of (in my opinion) the best jazz pianists on the scene. Was fortunate to see him live in a concert in Santa Fe, New Mexico last July . Happy Birthday Kenny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 One of my favorites. Amazing he continues to put out such great music which also includes his most recent release Without Deception. Happy Birthday, Kenny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 One of the few live shows I was able to see before the pandemic was Kenny Barron's trio in Michigan. In addition to being one of the great pianists, he is a gifted original composer and interpreter of standards (particularly Monk tunes). Happy Birthday, Mr. Barron!

Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 It seems weird to me that Kenny is 77. He was always one of the "younger" of the Jazz greats I saw regularly. I guess that means I'm getting old too. I had tickets to see Kenny in Boston but it got cancelled as the pandemic rolled across the country. It's too bad too, since he was touring in a trio with Dave Holland on bass. I was so looking forward to seeing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Kenny has been a fairly regular part of the Kennedy Center schedule, and I make a point to include him on my performance schedule.Shows I have enjoyed include his Concentric Circles quintet, his duo w Dave Holland, and his participation in a Monk centennial celebration (including a fun Monk-stride/one piano duet w Jason Moran). Happy birthday Mr Barron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Such a fantastic Pianist. I must admit I saw him only once, as a member of the Ron Carter Quartet in summer 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
