I've kept this site going mostly because of the domain name and links to it from other places, and most of the cds list it as well; but most of my online activity happens now over on the Patreon page. You do not have to subscribe to enjoy some of the content there, including downloads of music; and it's the best place to see what I'm up to, musically and otherwise. Most of the next album is recorded and uploaded there - some of the tracks are available to the public! Be sure to say hey via a comment or post if you decide to stop by there! I would love to hear from you! Have a great holiday season! - Kenny
ps - you can tune into my jazz radio show each Tuesday from 3-7pm eastern (with a break at 5) via iHeart, or at 88.5 FM if you live in or near St. Augustine!

New Music & Upcoming Album Alert!
It's been some time since I've released any new jazz music! You may know I record electronic music under the moniker Seven Octaves. Till now I've kept the two distinct and apart. A drummer and friend predicted about ten years ago that one day I'd find my own way to put them together.
Long story short - I'm making a straightforward jazz Seven Octaves album that will prominently feature my piano playing . It will also be all covers! I've decided to entirely remake Sarah Vaughan's 1966 release, a very fine album (featuring a young Bob James) made up of twelve 60's pop & easy listening hits, including "L-O-V-E", "What Now My Love?" "Who Can I Turn To" and the bossa nova selection below.
To cover the cost of production more directly, this will be a subscription-only release; available at Patreon. There are several subscriptions to choose from that start as low as $3 a month, and can be cancelled at any time. This album will not be released on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify or any other public venue. Tracks are released to Patrons as they are completed along with photos & videos. There are also more perks - links to free downloads of previous albums and any other material I record. To learn more about the album, see the track list or sign on to be a part of this project - visit my Patreon page. Thanks for stopping by - hope you dig the music! - Kenny
