A Sonnet to Silence Tickets

A Sonnet to Silence is a dynamic jazz project led by Costa Rica–born, Brooklyn-based bassist and composer Kenneth Jimenez. Known for a forward-leaning, NY free-jazz sensibility often described as frijazz or avant-jazz, this ensemble blends improvisation with structured composition to create a distinctive soundscape. The project has featured notable collaborators such as Hery Paz on sax, Angelica Sanchez on piano, and Gerald Cleaver on drums, with the 2023 album Sonnet to Silence released on We Jazz Records marking a milestone in Jimenez's ongoing creative arc.

Born in Costa Rica and now a prominent figure on the Brooklyn jazz scene, Jimenez is also recognized for his participation in the Kennedy Center’s Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Program (2017). His work extends beyond recordings to live performances at renowned venues including The Jazz Gallery and Kennedy Center-affiliated events, reflecting a robust schedule of contemporary jazz activity across the United States and Europe.

Upcoming tours and performances showcase Jimenez’s evolving ensemble and solo projects. While primary social channels may not have widely publicized official profiles, fans can connect through official label pages and retailer sites that represent his releases.
