What do John Coltrane's Lover, Grant Green's Gooden's Corner, Joe Henderson's The Kicker, The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard, Bennie Green's Back on the Scene and Wes Montgomery's Movin' Along have in common? Louis Hayes was on drums.
Today, Louis is one of the last men drumming from jazz's galloping hard-bop era. Best of all, the 85-year-old artist hasn't lost an ounce of energy or style. As evidenced by his latest album, Exactly Right! (Savant), Louis not only is at the top of his game but also his taste in songs is terrific.
Recorded in December and produced by Maxine Gordon, Dexter Gordon's widow, Exactly Right! features Louis on drums, Abraham Burton on tenor saxophone, Steve Nelson on vibraphone, David Hazeltine and Dezron Douglas on bass.
The tracks are Louis's Exactly Right!, Duke Pearson's Is That So?, Cedar Walton's Hand in Glove, Sergio Mendes's So Many Stars, David Hazeltine's Carmine's Bridge, Wayne Shorter's Nefertiti, Horace Silver's Mellow D, Fred Lacey's Theme for Ernie, Scarborough Fair (traditional) and Cedar Walton's Ugetsu.
What's fascinating are the two triangular conversations going on simultaneously. The dominant one consists of Louis, Burton (sax) and Nelson (vibes) playing off each other. The second one is Louis, Hazeltine (piano) and Douglas (bass). Louis is the driving force energizing the front line and the rhythm section. Burton brings the heat while Nelson lays down the cool, but Louis's drums set the mood and and keep the hard bop edgy.
Best of all are Louis's cymbals. They splash in all the right places and erupt at unexpected moments like geysers. On drum solos, Louis plays with a taut economy and decades of hard bop experience. He also shows his funk on Scarborough Fare, which is given the soul-jazz treatment. Louis Hayes is a global treasure.

¿Qué tienen en común el amante de John Coltrane, Gooden's Corner de Grant Green, The Kicker de Joe Henderson, El Arte de Freddie Hubbard, Bennie Green de Regreso a la Escena y Movin' Along de Wes Montgomery? Louis Hayes tocaba la batería.
Hoy en día, Louis es uno de los últimos hombres que tocan la batería en la galopante era del hard-bop del jazz. Lo mejor de todo es que el artista de 85 años no ha perdido ni una pizca de energía ni de estilo. Como lo demuestra su último álbum, Exactly Right! (Savant), Louis no solo está en la cima de su juego, sino que también su gusto por las canciones es fantástico.
Grabado en diciembre y producido por Maxine Gordon, viuda de Dexter Gordon, Exactly Right! presenta a Louis a la batería, Abraham Burton al saxofón tenor, Steve Nelson al vibráfono, David Hazeltine y Dezron Douglas al bajo.
¡Las pistas son Exactamente Las Correctas de Louis!, ¿Es Así De Duke Pearson?, Hand in Glove de Cedar Walton, So Many Stars de Sergio Mendes, Carmine's Bridge de David Hazeltine, Nefertiti de Wayne Shorter, Mellow D de Horace Silver, Tema de Fred Lacey para Ernie, Scarborough Fair (tradicional) y Ugetsu de Cedar Walton.
Lo fascinante son las dos conversaciones triangulares que tienen lugar simultáneamente. El dominante consiste en Louis, Burton (saxo) y Nelson (vibes) tocando el uno contra el otro. El segundo es Louis, Hazeltine (piano) y Douglas (bajo). Louis es la fuerza impulsora que energiza la primera línea y la sección rítmica. Burton trae el calor mientras Nelson deja la calma, pero la batería de Louis crea el ambiente y mantiene el hard bop nervioso.
Lo mejor de todo son los platillos de Louis. Chapotean en todos los lugares correctos y entran en erupción en momentos inesperados como géiseres. En solos de batería, Louis toca con una economía tensa y décadas de experiencia en hard bop. También muestra su funk en Scarborough Fare, al que se le da el tratamiento soul-jazz. Louis Hayes es un tesoro mundial.
