Invitation CD - one of the best in Jazz. Self-described as Jazz with lots of words, Kenny Barron comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Invitation one of my best. Unappreciated gift to Jazz
And Then Again as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Simple and heartfelt closing track Dewdrop closes Invitation on a high note. Invitation gets you up and jumping. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Afternoon in Paris - A strong beat. You Don’t Know What Love Is is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Kenny Barron released so far. This song stands out greatly from the others.
