NEA Jazz Master Louis Hayes is a legendary drummer who has been at the heart of the jazz world for over five decades. In the 1950s and ’60s, Hayes was the rising star drummer in the iconic bands of Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley, and Oscar Peterson. His extensive career has seen him work and record alongside other jazz legends, including Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson, Cannonball Adderley, Grant Green, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Wes Montgomery, and John Coltrane.
With an impeccable sense of feel and a propulsive swing, Hayes has played a pivotal role in shaping the art of jazz drumming. The Guardian praises Hayes for his “unmistakable style: excitement tempered by poise,” while All About Jazz notes, “Today, Louis is one of the last men drumming from jazz’s galloping hard-bop era. Best of all, he hasn’t lost an ounce of energy or style.” Do not miss your chance to hear the legendary Louis Hayes with Montreal guitarist Mike Bruzzese.

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.
