 | Label: smallsLIVE Catalog: SL0002 Format: CD Kevin Hays (piano) Trio with Doug Weiss (bass) & Bill Stewart (drums)Cheryl (Parker) / The Anniversary Waltz (J. Ivanovichi) / Loving You (Hays) / Sco More Blues (Hays) / Ludus Tonalis (Hindemith arr. by Hays) / Sweet And Lovely (Tobias & Daniels) / The Dreamer (Hays) Kevin Hays has been at the forefront of the jazz scene for the last twenty years racking up an impressive resume with the most demanding leaders including Sonny Rollins, John Scofield, Benny Golson, Roy Haynes, Chris Potter, Al Foster, Joe Henderson, Buster Williams, Art Farmer and Joshua Redman. His playing is complex and infused with a modern-classical sense of harmony and form (listen to his arrangement of The Ludus Tonalis from Hindemith) but his feel is still pure jazz. He is joined by the highly estimable bassist Doug Weiss and the near-legendary Bill Stewart on drums for one of the most satisfying live dates in this series.  Price: $16.98 |
