Kenny Barron Trio
  • Jazz, Blues, Swing & Chanson

© JImmy Katz

The name Kenny Barron stands for perfection in jazz piano. The pianist born in Philadelphia in 1943 had his first gigs in his home town when he was just 14 years old. Two years later, he moved to New York City; at 20 years old, he was already playing in Dizzy Gillespie’s quintet, one of the founding fathers of bebop. Since then, he has given concerts or recorded records with more or less all the heroes of jazz. Kenny Barron is one of the great storytellers on his instrument – sensitive, thinking in big arcs, serene. Equally sought after as a soloist, bandleader or guest musician, he proves himself in all situations as an artist of the chamber music format.

Two duo formations were legendary in the 1990s: the art of intimate dialogue with tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, later with bassist Charlie Haden, both earned Kenny Barron Grammy nominations. After the impressive Elbphilharmonie debut by the jazz stylist in summer 2022 with his quartet, Kenny Barron now returns to Hamburg in a trio. He has already consistently played together with bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa, originally from Osaka, and drummer Johnathan Blake for many years – often enough to cultivate a musically close relationship with each other, rarely enough to also still surprise each other time and again.
