I started this posting a while back and have wanted to do it for months.  I felt a little funny though, like I was doing a product promotion, even if it was a very good product that I actually enjoy myself. But after the recent events in Minneapolis, what could be better than supporting the arts in that town?  Especially perhaps the only original American art from, born of America’s cultural struggles.

Below is a link to the Spotify of Steve Kenny Quintet‘s latest one, Blue Chunks.  I’ve listened to Steve Kenny in various bands (Illicit Sextet, Group 47, Steve Kenny Quartet) for decades now.  Steve is a fixture, if not a pillar, of the Twin Cities jazz scene these days.

I’m not a guy to do a music review, especially a jazz album, but I like this one enough to give it a mention.  A bit lighter than their previous albums, but it just sounds like Steve and his friends are having fun and want us in on it too.
