About
Kenny Kirkland made side-player appearances with Miroslav Vitouš, Elvin Jone, John Scofield, Dave Liebman, and others before taking off as the piano powerhouse in influential groups led by Wynton and Branford Marsali. His spellbinding piano on <i>Think of One</i>, <i>Black Codes (From the Underground)</i>, <i>Scenes in the City</i>, <i>Random Abstract</i>, and other early Marsalis fare—not to mention membership alongside Branford in Sting’s Blue Turtles band and <i>The Tonight Show</i> band—made Kirkland a focal point in what became known as the Young Lions era. <i>Kenny Kirkland</i>, from 1991, is his debut and only album as a leader, but as Branford writes in his liner notes for the 1999 reissue, one year after Kirkland’s untimely death at 43: “All of the volume in the world does not produce songs and interpretations like the ones on this record. Geniu, whether it inundates us or skims by, does not show its face very often.” .
