Blue Flint GirlBlue Flint GirlDavid Haney (Piano), Michael Bisio (Bass), Adam Lane (Bass)David Haney continues to impress and confound a listening audience. Totally unpredictable on this concert, there are shades of Dada, Old-timey, Avant, New music—all interwoven with two of the finest bassists in play. It’s hard to prepare (i.e., make assumptions) for a Haney recital. So here are nine cuts that come at you from all directions. Relax and enjoy the ride. And then there are those bassists ...

Conspiracy A Go GoConspiracy A Go GoDavid Haney (Piano), Dominic Duval (Bass), Andrew Cyrille (Drums)This isn't the first time David Haney and Andrew Cyrille have worked together, but these two sessions are the first time they have recorded together. With David, one can always expect the unexpected, whether it be Free Jazz, excursions, or an exploration of a traditional Blues. With Andrew one has come to expect simply the best in musical inventiveness. CIMP 367 is a duo; the addition of the substantial presence of bassist Dominic Duval changes the whole dynamic (as it should) on CIMP 369. To further emphasize the differences, five of the compositions appear on both the duo and the trio sessions. Hear and analyze this bracing and embracing music.

Ota Benga of the BatwaOta Benga of the BatwaDavid Haney (Piano), Julian Priester (Trombone)David Haney and Julian Priester have been working together the whole of the 21st century and their music is definitely 21st Century. For this recording, they bring their particular shading of light and dark to a series (13 parts) of improvisations inspired by the sojourns of Ota Benga (b.1884-1916) of the Batwa tribe. Pensive and reflective, the nuanced tension of this music is often breathtaking and always starkly original. Extensive program notes outline the events for this set that David calls "nonreferential music." The intricacies and involvement of this creative improvised music is powerful and remarkable.

Blues RoyaleBlues RoyaleDavid Haney (Piano), Mike Bisio (Bass), Adam Lane (Bass)David Haney: one of the most originally rooted improvisers and a true original, backed by two of the most probing, inventive bassists in this music: Mike Bisio and Adam Lane. Just the logistics and possibilities of this encounter will intrigue the seasoned listener. Now add in the program concept—Traditional Blues and other music of antiquity—and the challenge further intrigues. Involving and deeply soulful creative improvised music.

The MusicThe MusicDavid Haney (Piano), Julian Priester (Trombone), Adam Lane (Bass)Chances are you've never heard of David Haney but this follow-up to his much acclaimed duo with Julian Priester (Cadence Jazz Records 1179) should convince you that his is an original musical voice deserving of some attention. Joined by the masterful bassist Adam Lane, these three work hand-in-glove in this exploration of Haney's world. There's nothing familiar about this music but it's still deeply satisfying. Recorded Aug. 12, 2005.
