KEVIN HAYS SOLO

Kevin Hays-piano

Many giants in jazz prefer him as a side man, like Sonny Rollins, John Scofield, Joe Henderson en Joshua Redman. On the Bimhuis stage he impressed in groups of Benny Golson, Al Foster, Chris Potter and Bill Stewart. They all respect and appreciate him for his incredible versatility that enables him to do virtuoso improvisations in every possible situation. ‘He’s all-encompassing’, says John Scofield about him, ‘phenomenally so!’
