Kenny Washington 'Cry Me A River' | Live Studio Session

It's not a well-kept secret, at least in the Bay Area where he's been called the "Superman" of their jazz scene, but Kenny Washington's incredible vocal talents are starting to get noticed. When he performed live in our studios, it was easy to see he's more comfortable as Clark Kent than the Man of Steel. Kenny Washington was raised in America's jazz and party capital of New Orleans, but his father kept him away from the wild atmosphere of the French Quarter. His early musical training was in the gospel church, and he only picked up on jazz in his late teens. Kenny Washington told us that his first studio album is currently in the works, though a release date is still undetermined. Our audience agrees we'll be in the front of the line when it's finally here. In the meantime, we know you'll enjoy these exclusive performances from the KNKX studio.
