WAYNE KENNY Stony Plain

Popis:

Winner of the 2024 Blues Foundation AND Living Blues Magazine "Keyboardist of the Year" award, and Downbeat magazine's critics award for favourite keyboardist, Kenny "Blues Boss" is having a very good year. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Jus' Blues Foundation and is a member of the Boogie-Woogie Hall of Fame. Capping it off is his remarkably adventurous new album, Ooh Yeah! that stretches the boundaries of instrumentation for the blues, including matching non-traditional instruments like the banjo with a trombone heavy horn section.' Wayne kicks off the album with the high energy title song with a call and response-style lyric and a gospel/boogie-woogie beat. In this, Kenny's 80th year he is not slowing down, performing across North America, at European festivals, and on the high seas as a featured solo piano attraction on Blues Cruises, his virtuoso playing peppered with telling tales from a life in the Blues filled a plethora of musical adventures.
