KENNY WERNER A pianist of seemingly infinite capacity, and a Grammy-nominated composer as well, an evening with Kenny is a lyrical (but never predictable) journey through the vast seas of improvised music. A master of the trio setting, Kenny will be touring his new trio with bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Richie Barshay this year. His 2007 debut CD for Blue Note Records, Lawn Chair Society, features a heavyweight quintet with Dave Douglas, Chris Potter, Scott Colley & Brian Blade, and his CD release week at Dizzy's garnered one of the best live reviews in the NY Times that I've ever read. (Contact me and I'll send you a copy.) Kenny's put together similarly impressive quintets for Jazz Festivals in Copenhagen, Belgium and Newport, and can put one together for your venue too. Come hear his quintet showcase during APAP at the Blue Note in NYC on Sunday, January 13th!
Kenny is also a teacher of profound insight, who has literally changed students’ lives. The reigning guru of Jazz Education since the publication of his book Effortless Mastery, he is also much sought after for college lectures and residencies, and while on campus often performs as guest artist with student ensembles, as well as with the trio. Kenny's schedule is rapidly filling up, so if you're interested in bringing Kenny to your venue in 2008, I advise you to contact me soon. Also see Special Projects. |
