Kenny Drew

Kenneth Sidney Drew (1938 - 1993) was an American jazz pianist from New York City. He first recorded with Howard McGhee[?] in 1949, and over the next two years recorded with Buddy DeFranco[?], Coleman Hawkins, Milt Jackson[?], Charlie Parker, Buddy Rich[?], and Dinah Washington. He then led many recording sessions throughout the 1950s. In 1961 he moved to Europe, and as a result sacrificed much of the interest of the American jazz audience, but he worked and recorded regularly until his death.

His son Kenny Drew, Jr.[?] is also a jazz pianist.
