NYC: BLUE NOTE JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTS: THE KENNY WERNER COALITION - FINAL NIGHT

NYC: BLUE NOTE JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTS: THE KENNY WERNER COALITION - FINAL NIGHT

The Kenny Werner Coalition (Kenny Werner, piano; Lionel Loueke, guitar; Miguel Zenon, sax; Benjamin Koppel, sax; Ferench Nemeth, drums) performs at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Thursday, June 11th through 13th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Kenny Werner is a world-class pianist and composer. His prolific output of compositions, recordings, and publications continue to impact audiences around the world. Born in Brooklyn in 1951 and growing up on Long Island, Werner began playing and performing at a young age, first recording on television at the age of 11. He formed his own trio in 1981 with drummer Tom Rainey and bassist Ratzo Harris. The trio matured for 14 years, wowing audiences in America and Europe and recording four albums along the way. In addition to his work as a performer and composer, Werner is a world-class educator. His groundbreaking book on improvisation, Effortless Mastery (2006), is required reading for all aspiring jazz musicians. He also gives lessons and clinics across the U.S. and is currently an Artist-in-Residence at New York University. For several years now, Werner has toured and recorded in a quintet format, releasing Balloons: Live at the Blue Note on Half Note Records just last year. Tonight, he returns to the Blue Note stage in this format, performing with an all-star quintet featuring guitarist Lionel Loueke and saxophonist Miguel Zenon. There is a $20-$35 cover.
