Multi-percussionist Steven Kroon's sound, Latin; R&B; Jazz, is as diverse as the borough, Brooklyn, which honed his talents. Steven was a student under the great saxophonist Bill Barron (older brother of pianist Kenny Barron) at Brooklyn Children's Museum's jazz workshop, know as 'The Muse' at the time. Steve was a presence during the Brooklyn club scene of the 70's and performed with some of the borough's most sought after musicians such Stanley Banks, Carlos Garnett and jazz great James Spaulding. Kroon also performed with Luther Vandross and Ron Carter among others. His latest CD, "El Mas Alla" features some of the performers who will join Steven's sextet for CBJC's anniversary celebration. They are: Bryan Carrott, vibes; Craig Rivers, sax/flute; Igor Atalita, piano; Reuben Rodriguez, bass; Diego Lopez, drums and Steve on congas.
