The Hays & Rossy duo features Kevin Hays on piano and vocals and Jorge Rossy on vibraphone and marimba. The musical collaboration between Kevin and Jorge features a dialogue between two well-known musical personalities from the generation of jazz musicians that emerged in New York in the 1990s. They have played together in different formations over the years, but this is the first time that they are playing together in duo.
The duo of vibraphone and piano is a relatively unusual combination in jazz which offers Kevin and Jorge a lot of uncharted musical territory. They delight in exploring the nuances of their instruments and in really going deep into the tunes to discover new worlds of sound, storytelling and color. The trust and intimacy born of their aesthetic affinity and long history of friendship allow them to fully enjoy the space and freedom offered by the duo setting.
Kevin and Jorge’s repertoire consists of compositions by both musicians along with interpretations of standards. Their musical palette covers a wide aesthetic range, including evocative musical landscapes, intriguing experimental improvisations, lyrical melodies, and rich soulful harmonies. Kevin and Jorge’s playing also showcases the sense of humor, infectious rhythmic counterpoint and unpretentious playfulness that are essential elements of the jazz tradition
