Warren Byrd at The Buttonwood Tree Performing Arts And Cultural Center

About

Warren Byrd, native of Hartford, Ct. is a pianist/vocalist/composer whose music could be called indescribable, except for the fact that, 'He sounds like a lot of jazz pianists we've all dug'...Well, surely some cliches describe him well enough: 'Drawing on his roots to build new sounds', 'Original in ways that relate in ways to how everyone relates', 'Moving "outward" toward the "Core"', Blah, blah, etc. The truth of the matter is in the pudding: As an American with a heritage rooted in the fertile soil of Black creativity, he explores the universal ideals that connect us all seeking unity in music...he just so happens to really dig Jazz as his main musical springboard.
