Kevin Hays & Jorge Rossy

The Hays & Rossy duo brings together pianist and vocalist Kevin Hays and vibraphonist and marimba player Jorge Rossy. Both are household names from the generation of jazz musicians who made their name in New York in the 1990s, and both have already had a significant career. Although they have played together before in various formations, this is their first performance as a duo.

New album The Wait

The combination of vibraphone and piano is not often found in jazz and gives Hays and Rossy the space to explore new musical terrain. Their repertoire consists of original compositions and interpretations of standards, with a wide range of sounds: from lyrical melodies and experimental improvisations to rich harmonies. The long friendship and artistic affinity between the two makes for a playful and dynamic interplay full of humor and rhythmic tension. “Kevin Hays is a true original. Everything he plays has a deep intelligence and swing.” – Brad Mehldau …“[Rossy] plays on both vibraphone and marimba with the kind of finesse, percussive lyricism and group sensitivity as he has demonstrated in his work behind the kit.”- Selwyn Harris, Jazzwise��
