Show Notes
On September 28th, 2020, Kenny Kirkland would have turned 65. This week we celebrate his legacy as leader, co-leader, as side-man invited to add power and sophistication to the bands he joined, and as composer, through renditions of his music by peers and contemporary musicians. Among these, pianist Noah Haidu has recently released the first-ever album entirely dedicated to the Kenny Kirkland songbook, which we feature here and in the second part of the show, which will be online in a few days.
Happy listening!
The playlist also features Jeff "Tain" Watts, Noah Haidu, Wynton Marsalis, Craig Taborn & Steve Lehman Trio, Michael Brecker, Sting, and Branford Marsalis.
