Kenny Barron at the Piano is a solo album by American jazz pianist Kenny Barron, recorded in early 1981 and released on the Xanadu label.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The next Barron's solo album, The Source, will be released only in 2023.[6]
In his review on AllMusic, Robert Taylor notes: "The set is a fine mix of standards and originals ... Along with the duets he recorded with Stan Getz, this stands as the high-water mark in his stellar recording career". In JazzTimes, Philip Booth wrote: "At the Piano, Kenny Barron’s debut solo album, recorded in 1981 on a nine-foot Steinway in the same New York studio that was home to high-end classical players, offers an up-close snapshot of the virtuosity, broadly encompassing style and wide-ranging repertoire that would come to define his storied career".[7]
