Things Unseen is a studio album by the American jazz pianist Kenny Barron, released in 1997 via Verve Records. [3] The album contains eight original and previous compositions written by Barron.
In his review on JazzTimes , Willard Jenkins noted: "Barron, who has achieved something akin to MVP status among piano players primarily for his broad capacity to enhance whoever’s session or record date he lays hands on, should also be recognized for his ability to artfully craft recordings under his imprimatur. The elegant 'Things Unseen' continues that craft. There is a certain airiness, a certain judicious use of space that pervades this date, as Barron and company certainly know how to avoid sonic traffic jams and engage a sense of openness that enhances this disc". [4]
All tracks are written by Kenny Barron.
