| Bada Bing Zing Cling Clang Red-hot trio of legendary jazz instrumental performers: pianist David Hazeltine, drummer Al Foster and bassist Nat Reeves. 2021 at 7:30 PM. Please get your tickets in advance because the space is limited. David Hazel-tine is one of the most sought after pianists today. He has worked with some of the world's most respected jazz legends including James Moody, Eddie Harris, Ron Carter, Jon Faddis, Joe Henderson, Pepper Adams, Jon Hendricks, and Marlena Shaw. David is known for taking a familiar or unexpected song and making it new, making it his own. He ef-fortlessly transfers this skill from song to stage. Whether he's composing or interpreting, ac-companying or leading, you are certain to end the set remembering the sounds of David Ha-zeltine. Al Fos-ter played with Miles Davis during the 1970s and was one of the few people to have contact with Davis during his retirement from 1975–1981. Foster also played on Davis's 1981 comeback album The Man with the Horn. He was the only musician to play in Davis's band both before and after his retirement. He has toured extensively with Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, and Joe Henderson. During the past 40 years, Nat Reeves has been one of the top bassists in jazz. His supportive and stimulating playing has uplifted a countless number of sessions and recording dates (most no-tably with the great altoists Jackie McLean and Kenny Garrett) and he has led his own CD State of Emergency. Both as a performer and an educator, he has made a strong impact on the jazz world. Reeves also performed with Benny Golson, trumpeter Donald Byrd, drummer Art Taylor and pianists Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Kirkland, Walter Davis, Walter Bishop, Larry Wil-lis and Kenny Drew. He became a longtime member of altoist Kenny Garrett's group in 1994 and in recent times has worked and recorded with many of the who's who of jazz including tenor-saxophonists Pharoah Sanders, George Coleman and Eric Alexander, trombonist Steve Davis, pianists Harold Mabern, George Cables, David Hazeltine and Anthony Wonsey, and drummer Joe Farnsworth among many others. write your comments about the article :: © 2021 Jazz News :: home page |
