these guys seem associated with smalls, in nyc; ‘letsgo’ even shared this on dime as ‘smalls live’.  smalls sounds like quite the place, and their practice of streaming the shows (for free!) is extraordinary.  though the 5-hour time difference makes even a 19:30 show at bit late, starting at half past midnight here.  “where you live is a lifestyle choice”, so this is a seriously first-world problem.

2 x dpa 4099 supercard mics – dad6001 – zoom h5 (48/24), phantom on.
downsampled 44/16 wav to pc, audacity (applauses declicks, volume adjustments, just a bit of eq, tracks), flac 8 (tlh).

this band is a fantastic jazz machine, with incredible musical level of each member.
they played 2 hours, showing us how to do, what a treat being there !

france musique recorded them for a sheduled jazz club, but this radio show is only 1 hour now.

Eric Alexander Quartet Feat. Louis Hayes cd cover (front)here’s another show featuring louis hayes, this time as a sideman, that jazzbike2 shared on dime back in feb 2014.  the seed included a number of photos of the show (included), so i took the liberty of making a pretty basic cd cover (front only).  when you consider that louis hayes was born in 1937, and so it 77 years old… !
