Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pianist Kenny Barron's debut for the Muse label is a vibrant, groove-oriented jazz-funk affair that balances electric instrumentation with his sophisticated, hard-bop harmonic sensibilities. The album highlights his versatility on the Fender Rhodes and clavinet, supported by a stellar rhythm section to deliver deeply infectious, soulful vamps.
