Kenny Barron: Live at Bradley's
by Samuel Chell
One of a handful of truly great living jazz pianists, Kenny Barron has never sounded better to me on record. After listening to him in this setting, I'm beginning to understand why so many musicians lamented the passing of Bradley's, the Manhattan night spot that featured a grand piano handpicked and donated by Paul Desmond.

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: The Joy of Discovery

A Fireside Chat with Kenny Barron

Over the years, he has build relationships with the group Sphere, ...
Classical Jazz Quartet: Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker"
by Jim Santella
Like the Modern Jazz Quartet, the foursome on this new release folds visions of great classical music into a mainstream jazz setting. Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet has always provided special holiday vibes for the holidays. This year, Bob Belden's musical arrangements have put a new spin on it; still leaving a lot of space for veteran improvisation. ...

Duane Eubanks is the youngest practicing member of yet another one of jazz's famous families, the Eubanks. In fact, the Eubanks family's immersion in music began with Duane's maternal grandmother, who passed on the tradition to Duane's mother, Vera, and to Duane's uncles, Ray and Tommy Bryant.
