2008 studio album by Kenny Barron
Images is an album by pianist Kenny Barron recorded in New York in late 2007 and released on the Sunnyside label.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Reception [ edit ] In the review on Allmusic , Ken Dryden noted "These 2007 sessions by Kenny Barron are a bit unusual, as he works with several different groups, playing mostly originals".[6] On All About Jazz Mark F. Turner wrote "The Traveler finds Barron once again on the move—a colorful palette of ten tracks with excellent sounds—featuring a new rhythm section and some very special guests. From the start of the title track, Barron's still got the touch—panache, grace, fire, and empathy. The result is a perfect portrait of his repertoire and depth ... fine recording by one of jazz's most respected pianists".[7] In JazzTimes Mike Joyce observed "A rather unlikely group of musicians tag along with Kenny Barron on The Traveler , making the pianist’s latest studio excursion all the more colorful and, at times, intriguing".[9]
