Kenny Barron Solo / Cyrille Aimee

"Kenny Barron: Whether he is playing solo, trio or quintet, Kenny Barron is recognized the world over as a master of performance and composition. His unmatched ability to mesmerize audiences with his elegant playing, sensitive melodies and infectious rhythms has made him one of the undisputed masters of the jazz piano. Cyrille Aimee: In a Wall Street Journal feature on Cyrille (and vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant), writer Will Friedwald declared her ""An astonishing and creative singer, with a brilliant sound, fresh ideas, impeccable rhythm and an overall approach that honors tradition without being shackled to the past."" Cyrille was the winner of the Montreux Jazz Festival's International Vocal Competition, the Sarah Vaughn International Jazz Vocal Competition and was a finalist in the Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition."
