Hays Street Hart at Smoke Jazz Club
Hays Street Hart at Smoke Jazz Club presented tunes from their Bridges Record Release tonight. As I sat in the sold-out performance the sounds I heard reminded me of the incredible importance of the jazz trio (aka rhythm section). From the first few bars, I imagined the work of Bill Evans, bassist Scott LaFaro, and drummer Paul Motian"or perhaps Oscar Peterson with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen.
