ISRAEL: The baron of the jazz spread

Kenny Barron has been described as one of the more lyrical improvisational musicians of our times. The 68-year-old jazz pianist will, no doubt, demonstrate that facility, and plenty more, at his upcoming concert at the Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center next Friday (9:30 p.m.), when he plays here with his trio as part of the Opera House Jazz series.
Barron’s cohorts this time around will be the Super Piano trio of Japanese-born American bass player Kiyoshi Kitagawa and drummer Johnathan Blake. JERUSALEM POST
