Hardbopjazz Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 I found out yesterday that Kenny Barron lives in the Baroness Nica's mansion in New Jersey. Even after her death she still has a positive effect on jazz musicians. Quote
makpjazz57 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Hmmm...I know that the great jazz pianist Barry Harris has lived at Nica's home in NJ for many years. Kenny Barron, too? I thought Kenny lived in Brooklyn or one of the boroughs of NYC. Marla Quote

PHILLYQ Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Kenny Barron lives in Brooklyn. A guy I know has been over his house a few times. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Kenny Barron lives in Brooklyn. A guy I know has been over his house a few times. He may have a place there, but I was chatting with Joe Locke at Kitano's jazz club and he mentioned that Kenny lives in Nica's mansion now. Edited May 29, 2011 by Hardbopjazz Quote
ValerieB Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 i'm with Marla on this one! and, as far as i know, it would be Kenny and his wife still living in Brooklyn. might have changed tho. Quote
marcello Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 I think Joe would know, but I'm surprised also. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Posted May 29, 2011 Even Geno, the manager at Kitano said agreed. The only way would be to ask Kenny himself. Quote
Michael Weiss Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 Barry lives in Weehawken in Nica's house and Kenny Barron lives in Brooklyn. Quote
Bright Moments Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 You can even see the cats HERE. (Sorry to start a new thread, but I didn't want to bury an 80-minute BBC doc about Pannonica Rothschild in this thread where people might not see it.) Edit: can the OP or a Mod change the thread-title of this thread to something more descriptive? Nica has her own thread! Nica's Thread Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted May 29, 2011 Report Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Nica has her own thread! Nica's Thread Didn't realize that, thanks! I just moved the content I had posted to the Nica thread. Edited May 29, 2011 by Rooster_Ties Quote
marcello Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 Tom, I saw Joe Locke yesterday, and you must have misheard or misunderstood him, as he doesn't remember the conversation. I also went to hear Kenny Baron tonight, and talked to him between concerts, and he still lives in Brooklyn in Ditmas Park. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Posted June 24, 2011 We did talk about both Barron and Harris. I must have mixed up the two. Quote
