Louis Hayes, maître du jazz de la NEA, est un batteur légendaire qui domine le monde du jazz depuis plus de cinq décennies. Dans les années 1950 et 1960, Hayes était l’étoile montante des groupes emblématiques d’Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley et Oscar Peterson. Au cours de sa longue carrière, il a travaillé et enregistré aux côtés d’autres légendes du jazz, dont Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson, Cannonball Adderley, Grant Green, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Wes Montgomery et John Coltrane.
Doté d’un sens du feeling impeccable et d’un swing dynamique, Hayes a joué un rôle essentiel dans l’évolution de l’art de la batterie jazz. The Guardian loue Hayes pour son « style unique : une excitation tempérée par l’assurance », tandis que All About Jazz note : « Aujourd’hui, Louis est l’un des derniers batteurs de l’ère galopante du hard-bop. Mieux encore, il n’a rien perdu de son énergie ni de son style. » Ne manquez pas l’occasion d’entendre le légendaire Louis Hayes avec le guitariste montréalais Mike Bruzzese.
