Kenny Drew, Jr. is a jazz pianist who was born in New York City on June 14, 1958. He is the son of jazz pianist Kenny Drew.
His initial study was in classical music with an aunt. In his teens he became interested in jazz and pop, but initially worked in funk bands. Later he went into jazz piano and in 1990 won the Great American Jazz Piano competition in Jacksonville, Florida. He has continued to perform jazz, but has also performed some chamber music. His style has some similarities to his father's, but is different enough to generally avoid comparison. He is considered the more eclectic of the two.
Kenny attended [1] for a spell from 1977 to 1978. There, he became pianist for the Iona College Singers, an entertainment troupe promoting the College's name and goodwill among local highschools, retirement homes and the like in the Northeast.
