艺人介绍

Kenny Barron 现代著名波谱钢琴演奏家,是少数能够传神地表达摇摆韵味的钢琴手之一。1943年生于费城, 12岁的时候开始学习钢琴,之后他加入了由Mel Melvin所领导的节奏蓝调乐团,50年代末期曾先后经历大师级人物的洗礼,这其中包括了鼓手Philly Joe Jones、Jimmy Heath与Yusef Lateef。60年代初期Kenny Barron参加了由Dizzy Gillespie所率领的欧洲巡回演出,回国之后大部分的时间依旧以搭配乐手的身份出现,直到80年代初期与萨克斯风手Charlie Rouse合组一个以演绎Thelonious Monk音乐风格的乐团,并且留下几张堪称经典的作品之后,才算尝到了真正走红的滋味,Kenny Barron的弹奏自有他的秩序与原则,丰富的创意力使他无须花俏繁杂便能够应付任何合奏所需的效果。KENNY BARRON 优雅的弹奏,充满感情的旋律和极具感染力的节奏使得LOS ANGLES TIMES称其为ONE OF THE TOP JAZZ PIANISTS IN THE WORLD。

Kenny Barron has been recognized as one of the giants of modern mainstream piano. The younger brother of the late saxophonist Bill Barron (who was 16 years older), he started on piano when he was 12 and played with Mel Melvins R&B band in 1957. Barron moved to New York in 1961 where he worked briefly with James Moody, Lee Morgan, Roy Haynes, and Lou Donaldson. Most significant were his four years (1962-1966) playing and recording with Dizzy Gillespie. Barron followed that important association with periods in the groups of Freddie Hubbard (1966-1970), Yusef Lateef (1970-1975), and Ron Carters two-bass quartet (1976-1980). Barron was a co-leader of the group Sphere in the 1980s, and went on to generally be the leader of his own trios. The pianist was on Stan Getzs final session (a series of brilliant duets) and has recorded many dates as a leader. In the 1990s, Barron received long overdue recognition for his talents.
