I ha...I absolutely love Kenny Barron's playing. I happened upon Kenny (and Don Pullen) in the late 70s when I worked at a record distributor in Los Angeles (while attending U.S.C.) and I've been a fan ever since. In fact, I saw him at SF Jazz last month with Dave Holland. KB rarely comes to the West Coast so that was a real treat. I also saw him around 2002-2003 at Yoshi's Oakland with a quartet. Nice performance, just wasn't enough "him" for me, if you know what I mean. His 1992 Brazillian-music recording and his 1993 trio recording with Roy Haynes and Charlie Haden (as well as some of the late 70s LPs) are amongst my favorites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080891593069296594.post-65585026167052480212011-03-31T01:27:58.721-04:002011-03-31T01:27:58.721-04:00Mmmm Just found this.

I remember how you talked about Bill .... but when you talked about Kenny ...well, there was a whole lot hanging there in your silence that just couldn't be said. But I could feel it. Thank you for sharing.

I had some wonderful encounters with Kenny over the years, I wish I could have had some of those amazing lessons like you did, but all in all I would say Kenny was one of the greatest guys I have encountered in my travels. As for his piano playing, what can you say. He never plays anything that doesn't sound great.Phil Dwyerhttp://phildwyer.comnoreply@blogger.com
