Kenny Barron - Songbook

Kenny Barron — Songbook

Honored by The National Endowment for the Arts as a 2010 Jazz Master, Kenny Barron has an unmatched ability to mesmerize audiences with his elegant playing, sensitive melodies and infectious rhythms. The Los Angeles Times named him "one of the top jazz pianists in the world" and Jazz Weekly calls him "The most lyrical piano player of our time."

"I've always wanted to record an album with some of my favorite vocalists performing my original music so, that's what we did. Songbook features Cécile McLorin Salvant, Jean Baylor, Catherine Russell, Kurt Elling, Anne Hampton Callaway, Ekep Nkwelli, Tyreek McDole and Kavita Shaw with Kiyoshi Kitagawa and Johnathan Blake holding down the trio. Hope you love it like we do." — Kenny Barron
