Live Jazz events & concerts in Greece

Kenny Barron has played next to some Jazz legend such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Elvin Jones, Ron Carter among others and he has been nominated nine times for Grammy Awards and for the American Jazz Hall of Fame. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009. For over 25 years, Barron taught piano and keyboard harmony at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He now teaches at the Juilliard School of Music. His piano students have included Earl MacDonald, Harry Pickens, and Aaron Parks.

Probably no drummer besides Buddy Rich turned pro as young as Terri Lyne Carrington. Today she is a full-time Berklee professor, but her career began in 1972 when she was just seven years old. She was mentored by Jack DeJohnette and the legendary Alan Dawson, and played with some of jazz’s biggest names. She will be at Sani Festival this July. She answers few questions for Jazzonline.
