Kevin Hays, Ben Street & Billy Hart - Bridges (2023) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at Oct. 19, 2023

Hays Street Hart, the trio of pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Ben Street, and legendary drummer Billy Hart, recorded their acclaimed 2021 debut, ALL THINGS ARE, under less than optimal conditions. The album began life as a performance in honor of Hart’s 80th birthday in December 2020, live-streamed from an empty Smoke Jazz Club in the final weeks of that grueling pandemic year. Despite those adversities, the music they created that night was spectacular enough to convince all involved that it should be released.

Having lived in the Sugar Hill neighborhood of Harlem for five years, pianist Kevin Hays couldn’t escape the vibrations of the historic neighborhood. He was reminded of the deep musical history of Harlem when he photographed a wall that was uncovered in the midst of the City’s continuous redevelopment. The wall was festooned with concert posters from decades past, an image Hays interpolated for the cover of his new recording, North.

People would be poorer without dreams. Most such thought films run on the screen of our subconscious at night. Some dreams are even repeated. If a dream remains so fresh in your mind, it is worth fighting for its realization. Bernhard Wiesinger is an example of such a case. Jazz, tenor and soprano saxophone, Austrian, living in Vienna, where his beloved musical style, like in other major European cities, makes a pleasant niche life possible, but the possibilities for development remain limited. At some point, every jazz musician begins to dream of New York with its still vibrant, pulsating scene, brimming with music, performances, and co-musicians where a single rehearsal takes you further than anything experienced before. The place of yearning par excellence.

Group leader on the album 'Reciprocity' is the French drummer Olivier Le Goas. He played in New York and in France, England and the US made some name. For this CD he invited three American musicians: pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Phil Donkin and guitar prodigy Nir Felder. Hays has worked with a host of big names in jazz. Donkin is currently playing in Germany among others trombonist Nils Wogram. And New Yorker Felder has now built up the necessary reputation. His guitar is almost as clean tuned as those of Pat Metheny in his jazz trios. All four are dyed in the wool. And you can hear that. The title of the CD interaction in Dutch, is typical of the music. The four function at a high level. All pieces are hand drummer Le Goas.

Mademoiselle sings Jazz and with no holes barred. At a time where the swing has swung and or ultra formatted projects titivate our ears, Sarah Lancman appears as one of those rare songbirds. Like her illustrious fore-sisters, Merrill, Vaughan, Horn or Simone, she knows how to vibrate her chords and find all the emotional levels. Her chameleon-like voice rises sometimes veiled, with electrifying effect or with an adolescent sweetness which melts you. Like her former sisters she sings about love. The beginnings, the ends, but mostly about the love of creating and giving herself entirely to her music and those that listen.

Listening to the new, self-titled album by the Steve Gadd Band, one thought comes immediately to mind: back-up bands are far more than back-up bands. Gadd himself is exhibit A. Perhaps the best drummer working today in pop music, his main gigs are in the bands of the world’s top stars: James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and others. And the musicians featured on this album are veterans of Taylor’s touring band. Gadd, who produced the album, gives them all a chance to shine.
