Louis Hayes is arguably the sound of modern jazz, with an unmistakable musical vibe. Here, he reforms a band he co-led with Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson, with a new sound: the vibes/tenor combination of Steve Nelson and Abraham Burton. Hayes provided the rhythmic drive for some of the most important and legendary recordings in jazz history including classics by Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley, Oscar Peterson, Joe Henderson, Dexter Gordon, and McCoy Tyner. A perfect set of small group jazz including ballad features for Nelson and Burton, a toe-tapping tribute to Mulgrew Miller, and inspired playing all around!
