Louis Hayes and the Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band performs at Hilo Theatre
Jan. 15, Manoa’s Orvis Auditorium Jan. 21, Windward CC’s Paliku Theatre
Jan. 22, and at Kaua‘i Performing Arts Center Jan. 23. For more than 40
years, drummer Louis Hayes has been a catalyst for energetic, unrelenting swing
in his self-led bands, as well as in those whose respective leaders reads like
an encyclopedia of straight ahead post-bop modern jazz.
The last surviving member of Cannonball Adderley’s hard bop juggernaut,
Detroit-born Hayes put together this stylish quintet to celebrate the high-spirited
grooves and soulful charisma of his former boss. At 67, Hayes’ crisply
swinging ride cymbal, downhill momentum and hipster’s wit remain as sharp
as ever, and vibrant alto saxophonist Vincent Herring gleefully steps into Adderley’s
shoes.
