Kenny Werner Trio at Jazz Standard in NYC = February 10th and 11th

Kenny Werner Trio Live in New York City

Kenny Werner (piano)

Johannes Weidenmueller (bass)

Ari Hoenig (drums)

The Jazz Standard
116 E. 27th Street (between Park and Lexington)
New York, New York

Tuesday, February 10th
Wednesday, February 11th

Two Sets Nightly
7:30 pm and 9:30 pm

Jazz Standard welcomes back Kenny Werner, one of the most lyrical interpreters and composers to be found in Our Music – “a true innovator with a delicate touch and a vivid imagination…” (Jazziz)

Kenny was a child prodigy who made his first recording at age 11 and went on to perform and record with Charles Mingus, Archie Shepp, and the Mel Lewis Orchestra (among many others) while honing his skills as a solo and duo pianist. As one of the leaders in jazz education, he joined the faculty of The New School’s jazz department in New York City in 1987, and currently teaches internationally and at NYU.

The beautiful, exploratory music of the Kenny Werner Trio offers what Bob Blumenthal described in The Boston Globe as “an ever-evolving definition of the spontaneity that remains at the heart of jazz…”

Tickets: $25 plus tax

Are we going to see you in New York City at the Jazz Standard?

Kenny Werner with Betty Buckley at Yoshi’s in San Francisco this week

drandrewcolyer — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:21:15 +0000

Betty Buckley

and

Kenny Werner

Live at Yoshi’s Jazz Club San Francisco

Thursday, Jan 8, 2009
Friday, January 9, 2009
Saturday, January 10, 2009
-
Thursday 8pm & 10pm $32
Friday 8pm & 10pm $35
Saturday 8pm & 10pm $35

Broadway legend Betty Buckley will be making her Yoshi’s debut beginning Jan. 8–10 with her long time collaborator legendary jazz great, Kenny Werner. Their most recent CD, “QUINTESSENCE”, released this past spring is a stunning tribute to Buckley’s almost nineteen year working relationship with Werner. This album is the pair’s ninth album together and is a perfect bookend to the recently released “Betty Buckley 1967″, released October, 2007 , also by Playbill Records/Sony BMG. Werner & Buckley will be supported for their Yoshi’s engagement by two renowned San Francisco musicians, Peter Barshay on bass and Alan Hall on drums.

“Quintessence”, reflects the seasoned finesse and musical virtuosity of the two collaborators and their long time quintet —a performance that travels the artistic landscape of one of the most distinguished and celebrated performers of today with her incredible arranger, pianist and musical director, the world renowned Werner.

At Yoshi’s fans of Betty Buckley and Kenny Werner can expect a beautiful musical welcome to the new year and an early valentine of story songs about life, love and change. The show will be constructed from selections of their vast repertoire and the latest CD and potentially include a smoky, jazz-infused version of the famous Sergio Mendes and Bergman’s collaboration, So Many Stars and an achingly “hushed” version of Get Here, the hit song made famous by Oleta Adams. In between is a magical mix of music that takes the dramatic range and thea trics of Buckley’s voice and infuses it with the jazz influence of the masterful Werner and the skillful trio of musicians..

Buckley and Werner are also featured on a special podcast series discussing Quintessence and their creative process which is available on masterworksbroadway.com, playbill.com, iTunes and other podcast forums.

Buckley and Werner’s unique interpretations of jazz and standards, eclectic songs from the great American Songbook and by contemporary singer/songwriters, Brazilian songs and musical theatre milestones are a diverse collection of tunes culled from the best of their critically acclaimed concerts and cabaret shows around the world at venues as from Carnegie Hall to NYC’s famed Blue Note Jazz Club and the elegant Feinstein’s cabaret at the Regency Hotel in NYC.

Their recent recording like their evening in concert offers truly original renditions of songs performed with a fresh approach, a chemistry and alchemy coming from years spent together performing across the nation and around the world.

“I have such appreciation for the work that has come from the almost two decades I’ve spent working with Kenny. He has been by my side for some of the most treasured moments of my career, and for that I am truly grateful,” said Buckley.

Buckley describes their musical choices as “paintings with sound.” In fact, she used paintings to illustrate what she envisioned for each song as she and Werner discussed the “feel” for each of the unique arrangements.
