Steve Kenny
Steve Kenny is active in the Minnesota Jazz community as a performer, composer, producer, and curator. He frequently appears on various Twin Cities and regional stages as a leader and sideman. His original works have won awards and commissions. Steve is a founding member of 'the illicit sextet', "Group 47", "What Would Monk Do?" and his own Quartets, and he is the creative force behind the production company "illicit Productions", which curates two longstanding weekly jazz nights in the Twin Cities. His latest recording, Quartets, includes original compositions played by four separate ensembles of Twin Cities Jazz musicians including bassist Anthony Cox (Scofield Lovano Quartet), saxophonist Michael Lewis (Happy Apple, Bon Iver), and rising star pianist Javier Santiago.
