Kenny Kirkland's Language

"To refer to Kenny Kirkland as an exceptional musician only begins to describe this once in a lifetime artist.
His works as an improviser, composer and accompanist demonstrate what is possible when one is informed,
selfless and spiritually engaged with music. Melody, harmony and rhythm are deftly employed with style and taste, always in service to the song. Listening, of course, provides all one needs to know, as it all truly felt so good;
a reflection of the gracious human being that he was." Jeff "Tain" Watts
