On March 22, 2025, the Sale Apollinee of La Fenice Opera House will host a stellar performance by the Kevin Hays Trio, featuring Kevin Hays (piano), Thomas Morgan (double bass), and Jeff Ballard (drums).
Kevin Hays, a jazz pianist of extraordinary renown, began his illustrious career at just 17, performing with Nick Brignola’s group. Over the years, he has collaborated with legends like Sonny Rollins, Roy Haynes, John Scofield, Joe Henderson, and many others. Hays has solidified his place as a leading figure on the international jazz scene, thanks to his innovative solo and trio recordings and his work with jazz greats like Bill Stewart, Chris Potter, and Brian Blade. His playing is distinguished by remarkable harmonic sensitivity, a keen rhythmic sense, and an ability to craft intricate, multilayered sounds with effortless brilliance.
Hays’ trio brings together two equally accomplished musicians. Thomas Morgan, a master of the double bass, is renowned for his work alongside Bill Frisell and his exceptional versatility. On drums, Jeff Ballard, a living legend of modern jazz, has contributed his unmistakable energy to groups led by Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, and Joshua Redman.
Together, these three virtuosos promise a night of extraordinary jazz, blending technical mastery with profound artistic expression. Don’t miss the chance to experience the Kevin Hays Trio—an unforgettable evening of rhythm, harmony, and unparalleled improvisation.
