After establishing himself as one of post-bop’s most erudite, reliable, and versatile sidemen during the 1960s and 1970s, pianist Kenny Barron finally began to assert himself as a leader during the next decade and has remained a model of grace, exploration, and tradition of mainstream jazz ever since. Born in Philadelphia in 1943 (16 years behind his saxophone-playing brother, Bill), he became a fixture on the scene from 1961, adapting to the demands of veterans like trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie—his first employer—and post-bop saxophonists like Booker Ervin, Yusef Lateef, and Joe Henderson. From the beginning, Barron has deftly internalized hard-bop fundamentals while retaining a sense of curiosity, a practice that blossomed after extended stints with Stan Getz and as co-leader of the Thelonious Monk repertory quartet Sphere. Barron has complemented his harmonically sophisticated, effortlessly swinging brand of small-group jazz with regular excursions into bossa nova jazz projects. Between 1974 and 2000 he served as a music professor at Rutgers University. He continues to perform and record with the poise and elegance of a veteran but the wonder of a young lion.
Kenny Barron juga telah merilis musik sebagai anggota Sphere, The Jazztet, Freddie Hubbard Quintet, Classical Jazz Quartet, The Kenny Barron Quintet, Joe Henderson Sextet, Kenny Barron Quartet, Kenny Barron Trio, dan The Super Premium Band.
