Joe Hurt Jazz Trio – joehurt.com/joe_hurt_solo.php
When it comes to Joe Hurt, the old adage needs to be rethought-Believe none of what you see and all of what you hear. To be fair, Joe looks like a young buisiness exec, and decidedly not like a seasoned jazz piano player, which he decidedly is. How many of the young lions of today can interweave modern modal harmony with old-school smooth, all the time keeping the distinctive groove of the Chicago style of Piano Jazz? The audiences, small and large, who tap their feet to the bop, or get up and dance, cast their votes for Joe’s talent.
