trumpet & arranger Ben Riley, drums & leader Kiyoshi Kitgawa, bass

Kenny Barron's
unmatched ability to mesmerize audiences with his elegant playing,
sensitive melodies and infectious rhythms has received raves from
jazz publications. Ben Riley is one of the most richly experienced
drummers in jazz today. The Georgia-born drummer came up in Harlem
during the second wave of bebop in the fifties, playing with Randy
Weston and others. He was at Minton˙s with saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw"
Davis and anchored the saxophonist's two-tenor quintet with Johnny
Griffin, but his true claim to fame came during his years with iconoclast
pianist Thelonious Monk.
Rome Neal
is the Artistic Director of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe theatre program.
Mr. Neal received an Obie Grant with Cafe founder Miguel Algarin
for excellence in theatre. Over the years he has received five Audelco
Awards for his direction of Pepe Carril˙s "SHANGO de IMA" and Samuel
Harp's "Don't Explain." Mr. Neal also received two AUDELCOS for
his acting: one for Lead Actor in Gabrielle N. Lane's "SIGNS," and
one for Solo Performance in his critically acclaimed "MONK," by
Laurence Holder.
$30 General
Admission.
