Kenny Barron - Peruvian Blue


With Kenny Barron performing this Saturday night with Mulgrew Miller (as a duo) in San Francisco (Click here to Buy Tickets), I thought I would highlight one of my all-time favorite tracks by the accomplished pianist and composer in "Peruvian Blue". This latin-flavored jazz gem was the title track to Barron's 1974 album, which was released by Muse Records. The recording also features David Williams (bass), Ted Dunbar (guitar), Albert Heath(drums) as well as percussionists Richard Landrum and Sonny Morgan while Barron holds it down on both acoustic and electric piano. A great track that nicely blends post bop jazz with funky Latin rhythms. Enjoy!
