Internationally recognized as one of the most original and compelling musicians of his generation, Kevin Hays’ many recordings have received critical acclaim from The New York Times, Downbeat Magazine, Jazz Times, and the “Coup de Coeur” award from the Académie Charles Cros (France).

Kevin Hays has appeared on numerous albums as a guest artist, recording with Chris Potter, Bill Stewart, Joshua Redman, Jeff Ballard, Nicholas Payton, and Al Foster, among many others.
