About this concert

[Concert Introduction] Kevin Hays Solo Piano Concert A Steinway Artist, a star of the Grammy Awards! A special solo piano concert to revisit his 36-year career, which debuted in 1990! Pianist Kevin Hays, who debuted in the New York jazz scene at the age of 22, releasing an album with jazz saxophone master Joe Henderson. He has showcased original and wide-ranging performances with his unique sound, deep expressiveness, melodic sensitivity, and sharp sense of rhythm that can be felt immediately upon listening. During his early days in the New York jazz scene, he performed with jazz legends Sonny Rollins, Roy Haynes, and Joe Henderson, as well as contemporary musicians like Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, and Kurt Rosenwinkel. In addition to these collaborations, he has worked with numerous artists such as Brad Mehldau, Lionel Loueke, and Steve Gadd, demonstrating music deeply rooted in jazz tradition while simultaneously showing that it is not bound by fixed definitions of that tradition. His fifth album and Blue Note debut, <Seventh Sense>, released in 1994, received critical acclaim from The New York Times. He subsequently released two more albums on the Blue Note label, and has since released over 22 of his own albums on various labels including Steeple Chase, Palmetto Records, and Smoke Sessions Records. His previous visit to Korea was in 2008 for the Incheon Jazz Festival, and there are no other significant records of his performances in Korea since then. In this solo piano concert, Kevin Hays's first performance in Korea in 18 years, you can witness his diverse talents, presenting a repertoire that transcends tradition and modernity, and showcasing his exceptional virtuosity as a Steinway Artist.
