There are many great jazz pianists, but for me, Barron is among the greatest because of the razor-sharp clarity of his lines, harmonic ideas, and their execution. It all seems so logical and exciting at the same time.
I love Kenny very much, but I can't understand why he is considered downright "great". He always seemed to me a wonderful, bright mainstream musician. But his musical language is not as unique as Evans' or Jarrett's.
@@Robert63675 I think that his greatness stems from the utter mastery of jazz traditions that he possesses. If one goes a bit deeper into his ideas, the seemingly simple or traditional ideas he plays actually show remarkable depth and innovation. While his language may not be as instantly recognizable as Evan’s or Jarrett he still shows such elegance and mastery over the jazz language that it is difficult not to grant him a spot as one of the jazz greats.
@@Robert63675 Yes, you have a point. Barron is not as innovative as the ones you mention. The reason why I think he is among the "greats" - which is a rather loose category - is for the said reasons in the above. I would also add that his touch is very delicate and especially in his live recordings he can get pretty experimental. But this is of course ultimately a matter of personal preference.
When you hear it, it's so effortless and pure and simple, it flows almost linearly. Then you try to play it and wonder how wasn't the complexity and nuance already evident in the first place. Truly marvelous player.
I'll never tire of this Kenny Barron 'Rembrandt Trio take on this pure gold Rodgers & Hart "Have You Met Miss Jones" with the best-supporting cast- you'll ever see & hear PERIOD.
Had a change meeting with Kenny Baron on a Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn walking with a friend...we both were. No need for selfie, it was his time off stage. I respected that. Thanked him for his music and kept it moving. Certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn are like this, you just never know who you'll cross paths with...
Quel swing , quelle musicalité , quelle rigueur dans le tempo, quel sens de l'impro....quel musicien, un big band à lui tout seul . Depuis le Live at Bradley's (I & II) je n'avais pas entendu aussi beau avec ce sens swing qui lui est propre. Bravo Kenny Barron, un pianiste exceptionnel !
Grady Tate always a very tasty and swinging drummer. Later in his career he recorded several albums as a singer which were well received. Kenny swings hard here and the entire trio kills it!
Tout est cadré du debut a la fin de l impro maitre de temps jeu limpide sans compter les cascades vertigineuses insoupconnables j ai vu kenny trente ans a paris il est juste genial …!!!

I have now met Miss Jones…

Kenny Barron does full justice to this great standard - he is surely in the top rank of great jazz pianists.
This really got me into Kenny Barron omg this band swings so hard
Ripping through those changes at breakneck tempo with crystalline clarity.

FABULOUS! I'm new to Kenny Barron but you can bet I'll be listening to all his stuff now!

Wonderful.
Kenny = Groove
The absolute best arrangement and performance of this gem of a jazz standard. Bravo!
The man is genius!!
A master of his craft!
I’d like to die and come back as Kenny Baron - wow! His solos are musical and make sense
Swinging genius.
One of the greatest around today.
Super grateful to be a student from Kenny’s teaching lineage. Never get tired of listening to this.
Just discovered him few months ago he is a genius. I like how he swings
Who's your teacher?? Also anything you could tell me that you learned?

Et finalement un peu de mon beau français qui parle de musique
1:44 -> the lick!!
Best version I've heard😊
おお、懐かしい日本公演だ。当時これがFMで流れたとき、カセット・テープにダビングしたものです。今回その時の演奏と比べてみましたが、You Tubeの方が相当音がいいです。音もいいですが、映像まで見られるとは！ すぐさまダウンロード。この名曲のお手本のようなスイング溢れる演奏。本当に素晴らしい。リズム隊も（地味ですが）最高です。
Beautiful ❤️💜
Kenny Barron,simply great.
A true master.
OH WOW!!! It makes me want to learn piano, if that even possible at my age...
Definitely one of the greats. Love this, but my all time favorite is his rendition o Autumn Leaves.
Lovely! I am also new to Kenny Baron.
Wow! Very very free
Great Job
that boy can PLAY!!!!! 👌🏽
Just love this!
Yes please
Meraviglioso!
Without doubt a polished performance Barry Harris like good wine improves with age
Van Gelder Recording Studio Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey 'Rodgers & Hart's "Have you met Miss Jones" (1937) 'What a Trio'...
That drummer is really amazing!! What a genius
Grady Tate always a very tasty and swinging drummer. Later in his career he recorded several albums as a singer which were well received. Kenny swings hard here and the entire trio kills it!
Wwwooowwww extraordinary
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bravissimo...
Would like to know the date & place of this performance . . .
In short, what is the true meaning of music?...When you start to dance even if you don't want...in short thank you Kenny.
To quote my friend Tootie Heath: This is the Shit!!!

@@leonardo040799 Heard 'midnight haunted ballroom' too.
And St: Thomas as well.
badass GRADY TATE

A great song beautifully played. A pity Lorenz Hart died and Richard Rodgers took up with Oscar Hammerstein!
I agree. Hart's lyrics were witty and urbane. Hammerstein wasted Rodgers' talents with saccharine and sappy fluff.
