Kenny Barron - What If
Review by Shailesh Jangir
The album What If by Kenny Barron is a stunning masterpiece that showcases the legendary jazz pianist's exceptional musical talent. The album consists of ten tracks, all of which are composed by Barron himself.
From the opening track, "What If," it's clear that Barron is in top form. His piano playing is fluid and melodic, and he's backed up by a talented group of musicians who help bring his compositions to life.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Blue Waters." The piece is a slow, sultry ballad that highlights Barron's ability to create beautiful, emotive melodies. The track features a stunning saxophone solo by Dayna Stephens, which adds an extra layer of depth to the already powerful piece.
Another standout track is "DPW." The tune is an up-tempo, swinging number that showcases Barron's technical prowess on the piano. The rhythm section, consisting of bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa and drummer Johnathan Blake, keeps the groove tight and propels the track forward.
