Niewymuszona swoboda w grze przy jednoczesnej dyscyplinie formalnej to cechy charakterystyczne warsztatu tego pianisty. Kenny Werner to elokwentny, muzycznie wrażliwy i perfekcyjny technicznie pianista. Fonograficznie debiutował w 1977 roku, by niebawem stać się ulubionym pianistą w zespołach Charlesa Mingusa, Archie’go Sheppa (1980-84), w orkiestrze Mela Lewisa (od 1984 roku). Współpracował z niezliczoną liczbą muzyków, by wymienić tylko najważniejszych jak Joe Lovano, John Scofield, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, Peter Erskine, John Abercrombie, Bobby McFerrin, Joe Henderson, Ed Blackwell, Paul Motian, Brian Blade.

Wydany właśnie przez oficynę Jazzhaus (na CD i na podwójnym winylu) album, zawiera solowy recital Kenny'ego Wernera w Stuttgarcie z 1992 roku. Ponad 70 minut emocjonującej, ale dalekiej od egzaltacji muzyki. Na płycie usłyszymy zarówno zestaw klasyków jak "Dolphin Dance" Hancocka, "Blue in Green" Billa Evansa, "All the Things You Are" Jerome'a Kerna, "Anniversary Waltz" Igora Rosenowa, "In Your Own Sweet Way" Dave'a Brubecka (wszystkie bez wyjątku o bardzo rozbudowanej strukturze) i jeden autorski temat pianisty "Lorraine My Sweet".

Editor's info:
This album contains a piano solo recital of Kenny Werner in Stuttgart (Germany) from 1992, live recorded. Born in Brooklyn, NY on November 19, 1951 and then growing up in Oceanside, Long Island, Kenny Werner began playing and performing at a young age, first recording on television at the age of 11. Although he studied classical piano as a child, he enjoyed playing anything he heard on the radio. In high school and his first years of college he attended the Manhattan School of Music as a classical piano major. His natural instinct for improvisation led Kenny to the Berklee School of Music in 1970. There he sought tutelage of the renowned piano teacher Madame Chaloff. Her gracious wisdom and inspiration became a driving force in Kenny’s conception: A music conscious of its spiritual intent and essence. From Boston, Kenny traveled to Brazil with the saxophonist Victor Assis Brasil. There he met Victor’s twin brother, Brazilian pianist Joao Assis Brasil. He studied with Joao, who provided another piece of the puzzle for Kenny’s conception that would lead to Effortless Mastery, his landmark opus on how to allow the master musician from within to manifest. Kenny Werner has been a world-class pianist and composer for over forty years. His prolific output of compositions, recordings and publications continue to impact audiences around the world.
