Calvin Keys - Calvinesque (2005)

Silverado Records/Silveradomusic.com is pleased to announce the release of
Calvin Key's new CD, "CALVINESQUE'", on the Silverado label.

Jazz guitarist Calvin Keys, who's credits in the world of Jazz read like a Who's Who of Jazz History, including, Ray Charles, Ahmad Jamal, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Jimmy Smith, Carmen McCrea, Joe Henderson and Bobby Hutcherson, has released a fine new CD of truly inspiring jazz music. While always technically majestic, Calvin also infuses some real heart and soul into a classic like ' Witchcraft", and takes "What's go'in on" to a whole new level. Obviously comfortable in this mostly quartet setting, with one of Calvin's favorite bassists Tim Hauff holding down the bottom, he also encourages Jeff Chimente to new heights on piano, and changes the moods significantly when Kenneth Nash is added on percussion to the solid drumming of Mark Lignall.
This is an exciting collection of great tunes by one of the most outstanding jazz guitarists you can hear anywhere in the world
