New cd "There You Are" is out featuring 9 tracks and stellar players: Ray Parker, Yoni Halevy, Mike Savino, Chris Higginbottom, Zaid Shukri and Paul Micca!
Kenny MacKenzie Trio has had a number of firm lineups over the years, but is really a rotating ensemble of the finest players NYC has to offer (many of which can be found in the "top friends" selection below).
The music speaks in the natural language of the day - not antiquated, not haughty - but relaxed, intelligent, friendly and relevant.
If you like what you hear there's some more, as well as a full bio, over at the official website...
Kenny also has several electro releases under the name Seven Octaves.
Thank you for your friendship. Please check out the my flyer for the great lineup of musicians I’m going to be working with at the Iridium Jazz Club on June 16th. I am so excited! Peace and love, Pat Holley

Hey Ken, Thanks for the kind words,I see you're getting airplay as well & we can dance all the way to the bank together (wink wink). All the best, Linda
