The Victoria Jazz Society presents: Kenny Werner Trio
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
After putting on consistently stellar shows at several previous JazzFests, New York-based jazz pianist Kenny Werner is always welcome in this town. His prolific output of compositions, recordings and publications continue to impact audiences around the world and with over two dozen albums as a leader and 50 as a sideman, few jazz artists can match him for breadth or finesse. His rare mixture of power, intensity, and lyrical introspection defines Werner as a keyboard master whose work with artists such as Joe Lovano and David Holland is always precise and poetic.
Werner�s achievements include multiple Grammy nominations, NEA performance grants, and the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship Award in 2010 for the much acclaimed recording No Beginning No End.
In 2000, Werner formed a new trio with Ari Hoenig drums and Johannes Weidenmueller bass. They have played nearly a decade together and have released three albums, including Peace- Live at the Blue Note, with Kenny acting as composer, arranger, and pianist.
Kenny Werner�s influence is unsurpassed. This is what jazz is all about � don�t dare miss it!
