Pianist Kevin Hays leads a trio with veteran all stars Billy Hart/dr and Ben Street/b on a mix of covers and originals. With a team like this, the joy is in the interpretation and interplay, and these guys don’t disappoint. The team takes a clever waltz to Hart’s brushes on “Row Row Row”, while Hays is crystalline on Wayne Shorter’s “Capricorn” and the pretty “Butterfly”. The three put in a hip latin feel to The B atles’ “With A Little Help From My Friends” and give mystery to the dark reading of Hart’s own “Irah”. Trio-athletes.
