Kenny Reichert is an award-winning guitarist, composer, bandleader, and educator whose innovative approach to the instrument has earned him recognition from DownBeat Magazine as “a distinctive player and composer.” Originally from Brookfield, Wisconsin, Reichert began his musical journey with piano, guitar, and organ before attending Berklee College of Music and later completing his studies in Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He holds a Master of Music in Jazz Studies from DePaul University and was honored as a 2022 Luminarts Cultural Foundation Jazz Improvisation Fellow.

Reichert's dynamic playing and expansive artistic vision have led him to collaborate with renowned artists such as Russ Johnson, Geof Bradfield, Lenard Simpson, Clark Sommers, Ethan Philion, Devin Drobka, Ana Everling, and Alyssa Allgood. His third studio album, "Switch" (June 2024, Calligram Records), garnered acclaim, with All About Jazz describing it as “masterly without being showy.” His second album, "Deep Breath" (April 2023, Shifting Paradigm Records), was lauded by Textura, who noted that the compositions “make an immediate impression and warrant repeat engagement.” His debut album, "Interpretations," self-released in 2015, along with his contributions to recordings like Johannes Wallmann’s "Love Wins," Ana Everling’s “Live at Pro Musica,” and Ian Ewing’s "Overnight," further highlight his versatility and creativity.

In addition to his solo work, Reichert collaborates with his wife, Sara d’Ippolito Reichert, in the jazz-folk duo "Sara and Kenny."
