Celebrated pianist and composer Kate Wyatt has been praised as having “musical ideas and a style of playing and writing that is on par with the current jazz piano elite”, and has been hailed as “one of the top artists of Montreal, Quebec, or even Canadian jazz.” (Cardin/Brunet, panm360.com).
We invite you to a very special evening in celebration of the release of Wyatt’s latest album: “Murmurations”.
A murmuration is the phenomenon of hundreds of thousands of birds flying in mesmerizing harmony, responding to one another on a seemingly telepathic level. This project exemplifies that kind of effortless, magical, group chemistry: a sensibility that lies at the foundation of this trio. Kate Wyatt and her musicians connect on a deep musical level and display an amazing capacity for deep listening and group interplay, surprising and exciting their listeners with the continuous creation of spontaneous musical moments. Featuring original compositions and reimagined works from the Great American Songbook.
“Pianist and composer Kate Wyatt is making some of Canada’s most exciting and engrossing small-ensemble jazz these days”. – Peter Hum, Ottawa Citizen
Advance copies of the Murmurations CD will be available at the concert.
Musicians:
Kate Wyatt: piano
Adrian Vedady: bass
Louis-Vincent Hamel: drums

NEA Jazz Master Louis Hayes is a legendary drummer who has been at the heart of the jazz world for over five decades. In the 1950s and ’60s, Hayes was the rising star drummer in the iconic bands of Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderley, and Oscar Peterson. His extensive career has seen him work and record alongside other jazz legends, including Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson, Cannonball Adderley, Grant Green, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Wes Montgomery, and John Coltrane.
With an impeccable sense of feel and a propulsive swing, Hayes has played a pivotal role in shaping the art of jazz drumming. The Guardian praises Hayes for his “unmistakable style: excitement tempered by poise,” while All About Jazz notes, “Today, Louis is one of the last men drumming from jazz’s galloping hard-bop era. Best of all, he hasn’t lost an ounce of energy or style.” Do not miss your chance to hear the legendary Louis Hayes with Montreal guitarist Mike Bruzzese.

Mike Bruzzese – Guitar
