Maybe Barron's best,
By Robert Miner (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night & The City (Audio CD)
Kenny Barron is one of the best pianists in jazz today and Night and the City may be his best recording.Recorded live with bassist Charlie Haden, the pair set a wonderful, late night mood that carries the listener through the entire recording. Dark, lyrical, intimate, beautiful; this is a record I turn to over and over again.

Audiophile and Dinner Excellence,
By A Customer
This review is from: Night & The City (Audio CD)
If you are looking for an audiophile piano recording, this one is outstanding. The piano is close miked, and and you can clearly hear the striking of the keys. The sound is beautiful, and is probably as good of a piano recording as I have heard. The bass background resonates in club and there are no wasted notes. The music is best characterized as soft jazz, and one can imagine listening to this in a posh restaurant / night club. This is one outstading recording deserving of 5 stars.

Typical Haden, but STILL worth the ride ....,
By
This review is from: Night & The City (Audio CD)
If that "summary" doesn't convince you to give this recording a gamble, it's because you haven't heard Haden.Haden's my hero. He knows the true value of "collaboration." Even on the soft ballads, you JUST KNOW what he's going to play, and yet you anticpate every note he plays, and you cherish each passing moment. Kenny Baron has NEVER disappointed the listener, and once again he pleases me. Here's the paradox of this music: the listener understands PRECISELY where Barron's boundary ends and Haden's begins; and yet, you're willing to accept the crossings of those boundaries ... but THAT NEVER HAPPENS, and least NOT in the conventional ways. Simple music and yet very nourishing. Many a moon I have played a Haden CD in my car after a day at work I thought would never end -- but alas, no evening REALLY ends without Haden offering someone else the opportunity to give a commentary. But why settle for my words when you can just listen for yourself? To paraphrase the MasterCard commercial: some things in life words cannot express ... ... for everything else, there's Charlie Haden...
