Kenny Drew Jr. (June 14, 1958 – August 3, 2014) was an American jazz pianist.
His music is known for its hard-swinging bluesy sound and large, two-handed rooty chords contrasting with fast runs.
The son of jazz pianist Kenny Drew, he did not credit his father as an influence.
[1] In his teens he became interested in jazz and pop, but initially worked in funk bands.
His style has some similarities to his father's, but is different enough to generally avoid comparison; he was considered the more eclectic of the two men.
