The music of composer and bassist John M. Kennedy has been described as "coming out of contemporary music and the Jazz tradition from multiple eras" (James Newton). His first major international performance was in 1989 with the European premiere of his orchestral work "Portrait…" at the Mozarteum, Salzburg. Since then, his work has been presented at festivals worldwide and concerts and recitals on four continents. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Composers Forum, and Meet the Composer have recognized and supported his work with grants and awards throughout his career. As a double bassist, he performs regularly in orchestral, chamber, and jazz groups in Los Angeles, and as a soloist, he premiered a series of works by William Roper. In 2021, his teaching was recognized with the President’s Distinguished Professor Award at Cal State L.A., where he has served as Professor of Composition since 1994.
