About
Get prepared for the best of the best!
This is the launch of a campaign to help the best living male jazz vocalist a CD of his own. In addition to a concert with Kenny, this event features brunch by guest chefs and the opportunity to pre-purchase a CD. This event will help fund Kenny's studio time for the CD. When the CD is released, those who have pre-purchased will receive a signed copy of the CD and will be invited to a reception at the Sound Room.
Dubbed "the Superman of the Bay Area jazz scene" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Kenny Washington is a jazz virtuoso who thrills audiences with his soulful interpretations, seemingly limitless range, and rapid-fire scatting. Ravi Coltrane has declared Kenny his favorite male vocalist, and Mark Murphy said in a Jazz Times interview that Kenny was the only contemporary male vocalist carrying on the tradition. Kenny has performed and/or recorded with Louie Bellson, Wycliffe Gordon, Jon Hendricks, Elvis Costello, Joel Harrison, Jason and Delfeayo Marsalis, Joe Locke, Geoffrey Keezer, George Mraz, Clarence Penn, the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra, The Contemporary Jazz Orchestra, the Slammin' All Body Band and The Michael O'Neill Quintet to name a few....
