CD review: Dave McKenna – Dave McKenna In Madison 2018: Video

One of the top swing-based pianists of the past 25 years, Dave McKenna’s hard-driving basslines give momentum to uptempo pieces, and his vast knowledge of superior songs from the 1930s has resulted in many rewarding albums of traditional but fresh music.

Although talented from the start, McKenna did not achieve that much recognition until he was already in his forties. Dave McKenna performs while showcasing his special talent for the jazz piano medley.
