The Genius of Kenny Kirkland - Part 2 [Mondo Jazz 129-2]

from Mondo Jazz · host Ludovico Granvassu

A classical musical upbringing; a deep knowledge of contemporary classical masters; a career that rapidly saw him develop affinities and life-long collaborations with mainstream and forward-looking jazz musicians, both from the US and from abroad; equally at home with fusion, pop and rock. In sum, Kenny Kirkland epitomized that kind of musician that defies categorization which we tend to admire the most. Here is the second part of our celebration of this legacy. Happy listening! The playlist also features Courtney Pine, Kenny Garrett, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Emilia Mårtensson & Barry Green, Conjure, Kip Hanrahan, Hal Willner, Carla Bley, Ernie Watts with Gilberto Gil, Miroslav Vitous, George Ohtsuka, John Scofield, Mabumi Yamaguchi, Stone Alliance and Noah Haidu. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/11713129/Mondo-Jazz (from Kenny Kirkland "When will the Blues Leave?" onwards).
