Louis Hayes
Lessons From Our Masters

While still in his teens in 1956, Louis Hayes moved to New York and joined the Horace Silver Quintet, spending the following couple of years working with greats like John Coltrane and Curtis Fuller, and then joining Cannonball Adderley’s quintet in 1959. He has since become one of the most recorded drummers in jazz history, and one of the players to most successfully navigate the changes in jazz since the hard bop era. Though his résumé also includes working with Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Yusef Lateef, Ravi Shankar, J.J. Johnson, Ray Brown, Wes Montgomery, and countless more, he has spent the last several decades as a leader, mobilizing some of the tightest and most cohesive groups in the business. For both the band and the audience, tonight’s performance will be a lesson from a true master.

An Evening with Brandon Bain
Flip Side Sessions

Vocalist and Brooklyn native Brandon Bain, a regular on the New York club scene, makes his Dizzy’s Club Coca–Cola debut as a leader in this one–set showcase. Bain offers heartfelt interpretations of jazz standards, showtunes, the Great American Songbook, popular music (from Queen to Billy Joel), and, in a nod to his Caribbean heritage, Calypso music. As an artist, his purpose is not only to present songs with beautiful, stand–out melodies, but also to dig deeper into the stories they tell. Though many of the songs are older than Bain, he is an adept storyteller who helps audiences connect to themes universal and timeless, as relevant to the human experience today as when they were first penned.

Revive Big Band Led by Igmar Thomas

Bridging together genres and artists of multiple generations–in a perfect match for our Generations in Jazz Festival–Igmar Thomas’ Revive Big Band brings a high–energy big band approach to music by Oliver Nelson, Wayne Shorter, A Tribe Called Quest, J.

Dan Tepfer/Gary Peacock/Billy Hart

Three astoundingly creative musicians of different backgrounds join for one unforgettable evening. 33–year–old pianist Dan Tepfer is a daring and thoughtful improviser well versed in both jazz and classical music, though his music and artistic ambitions go beyond such genre lines. Joining Tepfer will be drummer Billy Hart and bassist Gary Peacock, two jazz veterans more than twice his age. Hart has performed with some of the most significant jazz musicians of the last 45 years, including Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner, and his flexible and conversational drumming style is an ideal match for Tepfer’s explorative approach. Peacock, too, has worked with numerous jazz icons across styles and is perhaps known best for his decades–long tenure with Keith Jarrett, a gig that more than proves his ability to improvise with an intellectually demanding pianist.

The Cookers

With saxophonist Billy Harper, bassist Cecil McBee, trumpeters Eddie Henderson and David Weiss, saxophonist Donald Harrison, pianist George Cables, and drummer Billy Hart

Jazz veterans, colleagues, and kindred spirits Billy Harper, Eddie Henderson, George Cables, Cecil McBee, Billy Hart, and David Weiss forge a world–class union. Taking their group name from a 1965 Freddie Hubbard album, The Night of the Cookers: Live at Club La Marchal, this exciting all–star sextet summons an aggressive mid–1960s spirit. Their repertoire includes a potent collection of expansive post–bop originals, marked by the requisite killer instincts and pyrotechnic playing expected of the scene’s heaviest hitters. The depth and power of their music speaks of the seasoned track record of its members, who, combined, have over 250 years of experience in the jazz world and have been a part of over 1,000 recordings.

His SUPERNOVA group, featuring stars of the D.C. jazz scene, was recently selected by the U.S. State Department and Jazz at Lincoln Center as an Ambassador for the American Music Abroad Rhythm Road program. From one piece to the next, the group writes and improvises through “traditional African rhythms, bebop, fusion, Afro–Cuban, Afro–Brazilian, modal, and free form” styles. Beyond the group’s stylistic flexibility, what really stands out is their masterful pacing, through which they thoroughly explore ideas, grooves, and moods with an entrancing sense of direction and organic evolution.

Recent highlights (in a rapidly growing list of accomplishments) include performing for Michelle Obama at the White House and becoming the youngest artist ever selected for the Strathmore Artist–in–Residence program.
