CORY WEEDS QUARTET with NEW YORK PIANIST DAVID HAZELTINE

Sat, Nov 23

Tenor saxophonist Cory Weeds teams up with frequent collaborator, New York City pianist David Hazeltine for a night of hard swinging thoughtful jazz in preparation for a recording for Cohearent Records. Their last recording Day By Day appeared on the Jazz Week charts for over 20 weeks making it as high as #1. The quartet will be debut a handful of new compositions along with some Cedar Walton tunes and some of Hazeltine's cleverly arranged standards. David Hazeltine is one of a handful of contemporary pianists who has mastered all of the major musical skills, from improvisation and technique, to accompaniment, arranging, and composition. Even more impressive, David is the rare artist able to innovate in each category. Thus it’s no surprise that he’s the most recorded contemporary jazz pianist of our time, having recorded thirty five cd’s as a leader and hundreds more as a sideman, on various major labels globally. Joining the band will be young vibraphone phemom Atley King who has been in New York studying with Hazeltine at the Tribeca School For the Arts With Ken Lister bass and Jesse Cahill drums.
