About
Kevin Hayes follows Joshua Redman with three choruses of piano on "I Got You (I Feel Good)," navigating the tune's funk feel with inventiveness and rhythmic precision at approximately 146 BPM. His solo over the 12-bar blues in D embraces the groove-oriented setting while maintaining jazz harmonic sophistication, his playing complementing Redman's more blues-drenched approach with a different textural and harmonic perspective. As the second soloist on this James Brown reimagining, Hayes demonstrates his comfort with the funk idiom alongside his jazz training, contributing to a performance that bridges genres without compromising artistic integrity.
Kevin Hayes was 23 to 24 years old at the time.
