Billy Hart - Multidirectional

NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart celebrates the release of his highly anticipated new album, Multidirectional, his acclaimed quartet’s first live recording together. This group features Hart in collaboration with tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, pianist Ethan Iverson, and bassist Ben Street. A legendary drummer, Hart has recorded and performed with fellow music legends including Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Shirley Horn, Jimmy Smith, and Wes Montgomery.

As Detroit Free Press asserts, “Freedom, discipline, daring, passion, swing, broken rhythm, orchestral textures, interactive sparring, shocking dynamics, astounding creativity and authority. Want to know what jazz is really about? Listen to Billy Hart.”

“His quartet has often been hailed as one of the leading bands in jazz.”
