Kenny Barron Trio: Jazz Legend

Featuring Kenny Barron on piano

with Kiyoshi Kitigawa on bass, and Jonathan Blake on drums

Kenny Barron is one of jazz's most renowned and lyrical pianists.  He was a member of the NEA 2010 class of Jazz Masters – the most esteemed prize given to jazz artists by the U.S. government, was named a Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and received the Mid Atlantic Living Legacy Award.  A multiple Grammy Award nominee, Barron was honored with induction into the American Jazz Hall of Fame and received the MAC Lifetime Achievement Award.  In 2005, New York’s Jazz at Lincoln Center hosted a three-week Kenny Barron Festival.  Barron has made significant contributions to the world of jazz since he was a member of Dizzy Gillespie’s quintet in 1962, as a composer, arranger, educator and recording artist.  We are so thrilled to have this legendary artist on our stage for an intimate concert, please join us!

There will be a Q/A session with the artists after the performance, followed by a reception in the Pendleton East Atrium.
