Duet at Kerrytown

The musical conversation between saxophonist Donald Walden and pianist Kenn Cox lasted more than 40 years before their voices were stilled in 2008. It was a conversation "full of understanding, recollection, nuance, blues, fire and life," their latter-day collaborator Marion Hayden writes in the liner notes to Duet at Kerrytown, an amazing snippet of that conversation captured on tape in 1994 and now being released. Proceeds from the disc and Sunday's record release event go to a scholarship for deserving young musicians named for Walden and Cox. And while the disc is heavy on Monk and other jazz standards, Hayden's seven-piece Detroit Legacy Ensemble will play more music by Walden and Cox proper. The $25 admission includes a copy of the record; other sponsorship and scholarship support packages are available (call 734-845-1143). From 4 to 7 p.m. at Cliff Bell's, 2030 Park Ave.; 313-961-2543.
