Noah Haidu &: The Doctone Project — The Music of Kenny Kirkland
Join acclaimed jazz pianist Noah Haidu for an unforgettable evening celebrating the music of the late Kenny Kirkland—a visionary composer and pianist whose influence continues to shape modern jazz. This special performance is part of an album release tour timed with what would have been Kirkland’s 70th birthday and supported by the launch of an ambitious multimedia project: The Doctone Project.
“He has developed his own compelling brand of pianism…like a pent-up spirit released.” – Larry Blumenfeld, Wall Street Journal
Haidu’s project pays tribute to Kirkland’s brilliance with the first-ever full-length album of his original compositions, alongside a forthcoming book and documentary film featuring interviews with jazz luminaries including Sting, Jason Moran, Branford Marsalis, and many others. Described as “a work of stunning execution and heart” by DownBeat, the music blends soul, swing, and sophisticated innovation—reflecting Kirkland’s dynamic legacy.
Haidu has earned acclaim for his dynamic playing, hailed by The Wall Street Journal for his “buoyant and free” style. With recent albums landing on DownBeat’s Best of the Year lists and national recognition from NPR and All Songs Considered, Noah brings a fresh, narrative-driven approach to the piano that blends intellect with groove. His performances captivate with intricate interplay, heartfelt tributes, and a deep reverence for the jazz lineage.
Expect a high-energy, emotionally resonant performance of deep grooves and electrifying improvisation. With Henderson’s soulful trumpet voice and Haidu’s modern, expressive piano style, the duo honors Kirkland’s fearless artistry while forging fresh creative ground.
For the Ravenscroft Concert Series, doors open at 6:00pm, followed by the performance beginning at 7:00pm. Choose from a fine selection of wine and craft beers before the show. Light refreshments will also be available for purchase at the bar. No food or drink will be permitted inside of Ravenscroft Hall.
