We're back with a bad chest cold and a milestone trip around the sun for another formative pillar of the music of our epoch.
Starting in the band of Dizzy Gillespie in the early 1960s, he's blazed quite a path in the 60 (!) years since.
Perhaps most acclaimed for his series of duets with Stan Getz in the late 1980s, AFAIK he is still out there and playing as he turns 80 today.
We'll tribute Kenny Barron -- piano Maestro of our lifetimes -- with two sweet radio segments from the 1980s: one solo and one with an all-star trio.

I'll be back around after this cold is gone and I'm not coughing the contents of my lungs all over the keyboard.
Wonderful Joshy! Thanks for all you do bud. No pun intended! 🤓 KJee
