Magnetic Jazz Violinist Ken Ford

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.
