Concentric Circles

On his Blue Note debut, Concentric Circles, 11-time Grammy-nominated pianist Kenny Barron emerges with his new quintet consisting of drummer Jonathan Blake, bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa, saxophonist Dayna Stephens and trumpeter Mike Rodriguez. Eight years after being inducted into the National Endowment for the Arts "Jazz Masters," Barron, whom Jazz Weekly once hailed as "the most lyrical piano player of our time," continues striving for new creative heights.
