# Event Details - **Event Name**: Kenny Washington Quartet - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: The BEST of Jazz!About this EventA masterful vocalist and “the superman of the Bay Area jazz scene” (SF Chronicle), Kenny Washington is easily among the most beloved and soulful singers working today. A native of New Orleans, Kenny grew up singing gospel music in church and playing saxophone in the school band. He continued his music studies at Xavier University where he became interested in various styles ranging from traditional and contemporary jazz, to classical, to rhythm-and-blues and pop. Joining the U.S. Navy Band in 1986, Kenny performed and toured nationally and internationally through out the U.S., Asia, Russia, and Australia. After nine years in the Navy, Kenny made his home in the San Francisco Bay Area where he established himself as a top vocalist.While performing with the Michael O’Neill Quintet at the Douglas Beach House, Kenny met vibraphonist Joe Locke who happened to be in the audience. This led to an invitation to perform with Joe at Dizzy’s; Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC). Since then he has been a featured artist at JALC for over ten years where he has appeared with Joe Locke, Eric Reed, Eric Alexander, Joe Lavano, Branford Marsalis, Roberta Gambarini and Wynton Marsalis. With Wynton, Kenny has performed both in small groups and large including numerous times with the "Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.” In 2013 Kenny was featured in Wynton’s oratorio: "Blood On The Fields" which also included vocalist Gregory Porter. Kenny has headlined performances in Japan, Russia, Scotland, Shanghai, Denmark, Mongolia and many other countries. He has performed at top Jazz Festival including the Monterey Jazz Festival, Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival and the San Jose Jazz Festival.Kenny is a jazz vocalist virtuoso. Emulating the classic styles of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and infusing colors of Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, Kenny's free, playful approach, with over a four-octave range is awe inspiring. His tone on ballads is liquid and his scat singing - informed by his saxophone playing - is rapid-fire, passionate, melodious and inventive. His intonation is so precise that it becomes noticeable if the piano wasn’t tuned that day. Kenny is considered by many to be the premiere male vocalist on the planet today. This man is a must-see. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oakland/kenny-washington-quartet/100001994092382997 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, festivals, jazz, performances, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-13T01:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: The Sound Room - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 42.39, max: 47.73, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oakland - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Sound Room - **lat**: 37.8190855 - **long**: -122.2615116 - **full address**: The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kenny Washington Quartet - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/cef9756028566c94ca12a6d4ef9464a70a7f9ad3cd2bc36a6dc60813d0bcb657-rimg-w660-h440-dc080904-gmir.jpg?v=1784180851 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kenny Washington Quartet being held? - **A:** Kenny Washington Quartet takes place on Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm at The Sound Room, 3022 Broadway, Oakland, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Kenny Washington Quartet? - **A:** Kenny Washington Quartet is organized by Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Bay Area Jazz & Arts, Inc a rating of 4/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
