Pianist Kenny Barron opens this series of concerts and master classes at the Liceu Conservatory with the presentation of his latest album, The Source.
Barron demonstrates in this solo recording his subtle pianism and the discreet, powerful but not overwhelming strength of the best musicians, of those who have many things to say every time they play their instrument. In 2014 they presented his duet with Dave Holland under the title of their joint album, The Art of Conversation.
Now in The Source, Barron converses with the great tradition (Duke Ellington-Billy Strayhorn and Thelonious Monk) and with his own originals in another fertile conversation that reaches all of us "with the utmost grace and virtuosity" (Ed Enright, DownBeat). Enjoy this essential Kenny Barron piano solo.
