KENNY BARRON QUINTET
2025-12-23 20:00 - 2025-12-28 23:30 (America/New_York) | CO
The pianist Kenny Barron has a brisk but unostentatious technique and a deceptively casual way with a phrase. He conveys a number of things clearly in his playing; what comes across over all is the quiet hum of effortless erudition. Within his playing you can hear a digest of mainstream jazz piano traditions, with bebop as the root. You can also hear the measured tension of an expert nudging himself toward a challenge.
The Band:
Kenny Barron ~ Piano
Immanuel Wilkins ~ Saxophone
Steve Nelson ~ Vibraphone
Yoshi Kitagawa ~ Double Bass
Johnathan Blake ~ Drums
