Kenny Reichert

Guitarist Kenny Reichert is comfortable playing and composing in various styles of music, but is perhaps most familiar to Midwest jazz audiences as a bandleader on his own projects and as a player on notable recordings such as Johannes Wallmann's acclaimed Love Wins album. A Brookfield native, Reichert is currently based in Chicago while working toward a master's degree in jazz studies at DePaul. He reconvenes his eponymous quartet with Tony Barba, John Christensen and Devin Drobka for a BlueStem Jazz concert featuring new compositions by the group. Check ticket availability here.
