Time Keeper

by Louis Hayes (Contributor)

There is no introduction required for Louis Hayes , a legendary jazz drummer who for over 50 years has been putting his unique stamp on the world of jazz drumming, one post-bop polyrhythmic beat at a time. As a leading architect of hard-bop and post-bop swing styles, Hayes lives in the present and continues to write new and exciting chapters in the pages of modern jazz drumming. For the last 20+ years, Hayes has led/co-led some of the most uncompromisingly swinging groups in all of jazz. He has performed with Cannonball & Nat Adderley, John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Timmons, Hank Mobley, Booker Little, Tommy Flanagan, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, Ray Brown, Joe Henderson, Gary Bartz, Tony Williams , and Dexter Gordon .
