Drummer Gerry Gibbs Gerry Gibbs calls this band the Thrasher Dream Trio. That "Thrasher" aspect of the appellation might make the uninitiated conjure images of burly tattooed guys in sleeveless shirts, sporting long black hair?and maybe facial make-up?slamming their instruments in the heavy metal bass/drums/guitar mode. But this couldn't be further from the music at hand...

That pianist Kenny Barron is a lover of Brazilian music is not news. He came up in the '60s--and with Dizzy Gillespie, for Pete's sake. Brazilian Knights, featuring Barron and a Brazilian sextet at a 2012 session in Rio das Ostras, is his third full-length recording of that music, a typically masterful effort that shines a light on the pianist's unimpeachable rhythmic touch...

Describing just anybody as a legend could be a gargantuan overstatement. Reaching legendary status, particularly in musical circles, means that dues must be paid and that artistically, one has paved the way establishing themself as a true force to be reckoned with. Jazz pianist/composer Kenny Barron epitomizes that kind of legend status, considered to be among jazz's greatest pianists...

He then had extended gigs with Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Yusef Lateef and Ron Carter. After a stint as co-leader of the group Sphere in the 1980s, he went on to lead his own trios...

Kenny Barron's seasoned crew of drummer Victor Lewis, saxophonist John Stubblefield, trumpeter Eddie Henderson and bassist David Williams, is augmented for this date by John Scofield's distinctive guitar, percussionist Mino Cinelu-with whom Barron crafted one of '96's most rewarding recordings-and newcomer Naoko Terai on violin...

This two-CD package of classic Muse recordings by Barron and company offers an insightful look into the artist as he developed over a ten-year period. The first, Sunset to Dawn, was released in 1973 and the second, Golden Lotus, was pressed almost a decade later. On Sunset, Barron is on acoustic and electric piano, with Bob Cranshaw on bass, Freddy Waits on drums, and Warren Smith playing the vibes, with both Smith and Richard Landrum contributing percussion...

Long the sideman of choice, pianist Kenny Barron has quietly built up a respectable discography as a leader in recent years. He could have settled into a predictable pattern, for instance, of trio projects-a format he excels in. But so far into his impressive '90s run on Verve, he has favored roads less traveled and heeded the muse of restless creativity...
