Our Take

Kenny Barron's latest offering, "At the Piano," is a masterclass in the art of jazz piano. Known for his smooth, sophisticated playing style, Barron delivers a set of classic standards and original compositions with his signature flair. From the moment Barron's fingers touch the keys, it's clear that we're in the hands of a true maestro. His command of harmony and melody is second to none, effortlessly weaving intricate patterns and lush chords throughout each track. Standout moments include the up-tempo romp of "Bouncing with Bud" and the tender balladry of "Twilight Song." Barron's impeccable technique shines on every track, showcasing his virtuosity and deep musicality. But it's not all serious business with Barron. His playful spirit shines through on tracks like "Groovin'" and "Cook's Bay," where he lets loose and shows off his lighter side. It's a refreshing change of pace that keeps the album feeling fresh and engaging. Overall, "At the Piano" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Barron's talent is evident in every note, and his passion for the music is infectious. So sit back, relax, and let Kenny Barron take you on a journey through the wonderful world of jazz piano. You won't be disappointed.
