New Day (Sunnyside - 2015). Coming in early 2015, Kevin's latest is an eclectic and mainly electric blast with the New Day Trio (featuring Rob Jost and Greg Joseph) and special guests Gregoire Maret and Tony Scherr. There is an interesting paradox on Kevin Hays's New Day, namely Hays applies lyrics to music to express content that the music alone cannot but, further, allows the music to stand on it's own if it feels right. Mixing material with vocals and without shows a maturation of this brilliant artist, allowing more facets of his musical identity to shine through.
