Drummer Kenny Washington was a young hard-bop revivalist in the late 1970s, and since then he has built an impressive discography as a prolific freelancer and session player. Brooklyn born, he brings a tremendous knowledge of jazz history, some from his personal experience playing with legends like Lee Konitz, Betty Carter, Dizzy Gillespie and Clark Terry.
The Jazz Artist in Residence program is supported by the MSU Federal Credit Union.
