Jazzclub Singen (Hohentwiel, Germany) 15th Anniversary
by Robert R. Calder
Fifteen years ago Jazz-Club Singen was established in relation to the modest little theatre cum cinema (called GEMS) at the edge of the little industrial town of Singen-am-Hohentwiel, in the handsome German hinterland of Lake Constance (the Bodensee). About halfway through this period I became a part-time resident of the region. I hopped on a train ...
Kenny Barron: Images
by Russ Musto
Images introduces pianist Kenny Barron's “other" quintet--vibraphonist Stefon Harris, flautist Anne Drummond, bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa, and drummer Kim Thompson. The flute and vibes grouping gives this unit an appealingly distinctive sound that is airy but never light, sweet but not saccharine. Although somewhat limited tonally compared to the trumpet/saxophone frontline of Barron's classic five-man band, the ...

If ...
Kenny Barron Quintet: Images
by John Kelman
Pianist Kenny Barron is usually thought of more as an accompanist than a leader, and that’s odd; with around forty albums to his name over the past thirty years, he’s had no shortage of opportunity for direct exposure. But with over three hundred recordings as a guest, including work with Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Freddie Hubbard ...
Kenny Barron

By Amanda Monaco From his first gigs with Dizzy Gillespie to his current ensembles featuring some of today's emerging young artists, Kenny Barron is a continuously creative spirit and one of the warmest people you'll ever meet. AAJ-New York spoke with him on the occasion of his upcoming debut at Carnegie Hall's new ...
A Fireside Chat with Kenny Barron
by AAJ Staff
When I speak to musicians, regularly they mention Kenny Barron as someone they would like to work with, someone they respect, or someone they love to hear. And since musicians as a rule are quite critical of their peers, it says a mouthful of the man, who rarely gets credit for being one of the greatest ...
Kenny Barron: Pianist Who Opens Eyes and Ears
by R.J. DeLuke
Kenny Barron's piano playing has delighted fans--and other pianists--for many years now. Every time he sits at the keyboard, his lyricism and crisp, clean style, whether lightning fast or soulfully soft, is one of the great pleasures of jazz. When Kenny Barron plays, it's like the old E.F. Hutton commercials. People are going to listen. The ...
