Kenny Werner – Lawn Chair Society (CD)
Product Details
Werner's arrival at Blue Note in 2007 came at a moment when the label was actively courting artists who pushed at jazz's edges rather than polish its surfaces. The combination of Dave Douglas's angular trumpet work and Chris Potter's harmonic restlessness alongside Werner's piano, long shaped by his influential "Effortless Mastery" philosophy, makes for a rhythm section conversation that rewards close listening.
Active for nearly three decades, Kenny Werner has earned a reputation as one of the most inventive pianists and composers in Jazz. With LAWN CHAIR SOCIETY, he joins the illustrious roster of Blue Note Records and unveils the most thrilling and unorthodox statement of his career thus far. He is joined by some of the best players in the world - Dave Douglas, in a rare sideman appearance on trumpet and cornet; Chris Potter on tenor sax and bass clarinet; Scott Colley on bass; and Rian Lade on drums.
