NYC: LOUIS HAYES "CANNONBALL ADDERLEY LEGACY" AT BIRDLAND THROUGH SATURDAY

NYC: LOUIS HAYES "CANNONBALL ADDERLEY LEGACY" AT BIRDLAND THROUGH SATURDAY

Louis Hayes presemts "Cannonball Adderley Legacy" at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080 ) on Tuesday through Saturday, July 8th through 13th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. For more than forty years, drummer Louis Hayes has been a catalyst for energetic, unrelenting swing in his self led bands, as well as in those whose respective leaders reads like an encyclopedia of straight ahead post-bop modern jazz. Hayes himself an authentic architect of post-bop swing, began his professional activities at the tender age of 18. He started with tenor saxophonist, flautist and oboist Yusef Lateef who like Hayes is a Detroit native (other jazz luminaries hailing from the "motor city" include the Jones brothers, Elvin, Hank and Thad, guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Tommy Flanagan and many others). After the stint with Lateef, Hayes went on to rhythmically propel groups led by pianist Horace Silver, legendary saxophonist Cannonball Adderley and pianist Oscar Peterson. For the last twenty-plus years, Louis has led or co-led some of the most uncompromisingly swinging groups in all of jazz. Each unit has displayed tight-knit harmonic cohesion and hard-driving consistency as part of its signature. With so much activity in his past, Louis could easily rest comfortably on his laurels. But being a forward thinker and doer, Hayes operates "in the present!" His recent groups boasts some of the cream of jazz' recent crop. Saxophonist Louis Hayes posses an embarrassment of riches. His story, still being told, contains a glorious past, a vibrant present and an ever promising future. There is a $30-$40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
