 Kenny Werner

Kenny Werner is on a quest...a quest for peace brought by an expansion of consciousness in both performer and in listener. Like ripples on the surface of a clearwater pond, he hopes that his music will radiate outward from its center to the wider world around him, carrying release from the tensions and troubles surrounding all of us today.

 Karrin Allyson

Every time she steps on a stage to sing and with the release of each new album, Karrin Allyson pays tribute to the icons of instrumental jazz that first caught her ear as a college student in Nebraska. Bud Powell, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, the Adderleys, Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Gillespie - you'll find them all in Allyson's unique approach to singing the music.
