SUMMARY:Friday\, January 23rd:  Magnetic Jazz Violinist Ken Ford *** SOLD OUT!!  SOLD OUT!!  SOLD OUT!!  SOLD OUT!!  ***
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM AND 9:30PM. Ken Ford is a genre-defying jazz violinist whose electrifying sound bridges straight-ahead jazz\, fusion\, R&B\, and classical technique with fearless improvisation. During the early years of his career\, Ken lived a dual life:he earned a degree in Computer Information Systems and secured a position at a major technology firm is an IT Programmer; but at night\, Ken’s passion with the violin landed him in some of Atlanta’s hottest jazz spots.   Finding himself unemployed in the mid 90s and with the backing of his family\, Ken took a leap of faith to pursue his music fulltime\, putting 100% of his energy into the success of his career. Ken refers to these times as “the turning point\,” and it was full speed ahead.  \n\n\n\nKnown for his rich tone\, rhythmic authority\, and magnetic stage presence\, Ford treats the violin as a full-range voice—capable of swinging\, soaring\, and speaking with deep emotional clarity. His first appearance at The Velvet Note marks a meaningful milestone: an intimate debut in a listening room celebrated for its close artist-audience connection\, where nuance matters and every note is heard. For Ford\, stepping onto The Velvet Note stage is not just another performance—it’s an invitation to strip the music down to its essence\, engage directly with listeners\, and let the violin tell its story without barriers.  \n\n\n\nKen has performed with a remarkable roster of celebrated artists across genres—including Bruno Mars\, Chaka Khan\, Maxwell\, Ledisi\, Wyclef Jean\, CeeLo Green\, Erykah Badu\, Jill Scott\, Brian Culbertson\, and the late Barry White—underscoring his versatility and respect among his peers.
