question for the jazz aficionados

[wam79]

Louis Hayes and the Cannonall Adderly Band are playing here next month.
I try to catch any show that comes along and I won't miss this one.
There's not enough concerts here to be picky
I never heard of this jazz man. I found info on him and he has been
playing for a lot of years.
Has anybody heard him play? I want to get an idea of his music style.

Sounds like it would be an enjoyabe performance!

Some basic info:

A superior hard bop drummer best known for supporting soloists rather than taking the spotlight himself, Louis Hayes led a band in Detroit as a teenager and was with Yusef Lateef during 1955-1956. He had three notable associations: Horace Silver's Quintet (1956-1959), the Cannonball Adderley Quintet (1959-1965), and the Oscar Peterson Trio (1965-1967). Hayes often teamed up with Sam Jones, both with Adderley and Peterson and in freelance settings. He led a variety of groups during the 1970s including quintets co-led by Junior Cook and Woody Shaw. Louis Hayes appeared on many records through the years with everyone from John Coltrane and Cecil Taylor to McCoy Tyner, Freddie Hubbard, and Dexter Gordon, and has led sessions for Vee-Jay (1960), Timeless (1976), Muse (1977), and Candid (1989).

Thanks
wow I'm looking forward to this :thumbs:
I started to listen to more jazz just a couple of years ago
Most of the CDs I buy lately are from yhe masters of the 50s and 60s
We don't get to many chances to hear Jazz musicians like these
out here
