Kenney Polson Jazz Band from Portland, OR

As a composer, Kenney is making a special offer for those who book through Gigmasters only. If you pay the deposit within the allotted time Kenney will compose a special instrumental song for your event. The selection can be for a special person, couple, anniversary, group, or product. All is asked is that you give the information or description when you book the band so there is time to write the smooth jazz composition. The selection will be performed at your event and the band will take time for you to make a special presentation. You also will receive the music manuscript (music score) with a special mention on the score and it will be signed by Kenney Polson. Smooth jazz saxophonist, composer and educator Kenney Polson has shared his music in over 50 countries. With a master's in music degree from Washington, D.C.'s Howard University, Polson can hold his own on any stage, and he has shared the stage with the likes of Jimmy Heath, Phil Woods, David Sanborn and Wynton Marsalis. His 2016 album "Paradise" attracted a wide listening audience and high praise. Grammy winning producer Don Mizell, says, “Kenney makes melodies sound gorgeous without sounding sappy. His compositions are distinctive and well crafted, and he has a beautiful sense of melody.” Jazz journalist Scott Yanow says “Polson's tones on his instruments are beautiful and he loves to caress the melodies, putting a lot of thoughtful emotion into the themes.” Fans can expect nothing less from his newest venture set to be released in September... The band performance includes a non-stop show with very little talking amongst musicians. It's the complete opposite of what one would get from the majority of the jazz bands in this area. Kenney does address the crowd and introduces the band members. Book this band if you want more than just music. Book this band if you want a professional show for your event!
