 The Jazz Club of Sarasota is saddened to hear that our friend and colleague, the great pianist KENNY DREW, Jr., has passed. He was possibly the most complete pianist in the world. His talent was enormous yet often under appreciated. — Our Jazz Club members enjoyed his music tremendously. Equally at home in both the jazz and classical realms, he was simply the BEST. Hopefully he has found peace. We will miss him terribly. R.I.P. Kenny. Your music lives on…
Arrangements are not yet known but we will post once we find out. |
