Often heralded as “the most lyrical pianist of our era” and an NEA Jazz Master, Kenny Barron will appear with his trio. With an elegant touch, richly emotive melodies, and refined rhythms, this master pianist, who continues to captivate fans around the world, presents a one-night-only premium stage in a lineup featuring renowned bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa, who has long supported his music, and rising young drummer Savannah Harris. Kitagawa quickly distinguished himself in New York’s jazz scene after moving from Osaka, collaborating with Kenny Garrett and Tommy Flanagan. Harris has drawn attention on tours with Cécile McLorin Salvant and Christian McBride, and is rapidly developing a distinctive style that fuses traditional jazz with folkloric music. The three, from different generations and backgrounds, will weave an ensemble rich in deep dialogue and musical chemistry. We invite you to experience a performance that embodies the cutting edge of contemporary jazz, live at the venue.
