Kenny Barron Trio
Legendary jazz pianist Kenny Barron brings his trio to the Wex for one night only!
Performance Space
A National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, Kenny Barron has an unmatched ability to mesmerize audiences with his elegant playing, sensitive melodies, and infectious rhythms. Hired by Dizzy Gillespie in 1962 without even hearing him play a note, Barron’s unparalleled career has continued to grow over the past 65 years. As a band leader, he has recorded over 50 albums including his latest recording, Beyond This Place, and received 14 Grammy nominations. Joined by his longtime trio members Kiyoshi Kitagawa (bass) and Jonathan Blake (drums), the Kenny Barron Trio joins the Wex jazz series for the first time. (each program approx. 60 mins.)
