COREY KENDRICK

Corey Kendrick is a pianist, composer, recording artist, and educator currently living in Detroit, MI.  Praised by Downbeat Magazine’s John Ephland as a “very accomplished, highly gifted jazz pianist” with “a patient, maturing voice,” Kendrick has a skillful touch that is both immediately recognizable and deeply expressive.  Kendrick released his debut album, Rootless, in June of 2016, which JazzTimes.com’s Travis Roger, Jr. called “a debut album that stands among the finest albums of the year.”  Rated 5 stars by Bebop Spoken Here’s Lance Liddle, Rootless quickly climbed the jazz radio charts, reaching #4, #5, and #35 on the CMJ, RMR, and JazzWeek charts respectively and was featured on PRI’s syndicated program “Jazz After Hours.”  The Corey Kendrick Trio recently completed their Midwestern tour in support of the release, playing well attended shows in IA, IL, IN, MI, OH, and Ontario, CA. from http://coreykendrick.com
