Description

Reissue of a 1994 session from veteran drummer Louis Hayes and his quartet. For this set Hayes put together an accurately titled "super quartet" that features tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson, pianist Kirk Lightsey and bassist Essiet Essiet. The music, which is comprised of seven jazz standards plus a tenor/drums duet on a blues called "Blue Lou", is spontaneous, full of energy, and superbly played.
On a repertoire worthy of the Jazz Messengers (of which Jackson and Essiet were members) that includes Cedar Walton's "Bolivia," Freddie Hubbard's "Up Jumped Spring," Thelonious Monk's "Episrophy" and Wayne Shorter's "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum," these four masterful musicians play at their best.
Louis Hayes had major stints with the Horace Silver Quintet (1956-59), the Cannonball Adderley Quintet (1959-65) and the Oscar erson Trio (1965-67) in addition to spending three years as a member of the McCoy Tyner Trio. As well as appearing with numerous jazz groups over the past 45 years, he has often led his own all-star bands including notable quintets that he co-led with Junior Cook and Woody Shaw.
Personnel: Louis Hayes (drums), Javon Jackson (tenor saxophone), Kirk Lightsey (piano), Essiet Essiet (bass)
