Cal Haines Tribute Trio

plays Horace Silver

cal

The recently formed Cal Haines Tribute Trio honors the powerful influence of the great jazz piano composers. Featuring pianist John Rangel, bassist Michael Glynn, and drummer Cal Haines, the trio focuses each month on the compositions and original arrangements of a different jazz piano icon, from Bud Powell to Lennie Tristano to McCoy Tyner and so on. Tonight, they kick it off with a tribute to the “hard bop grand pop,” Horace Silver, whose tunes, “Nica’s Dream”, “Strollin’” and “Song for My Father” are jazz classics. Drummer, Cal Haines has become a mainstay in New Mexico’s jazz circle since relocating from California to New Mexico a few years ago. A professional drummer for more than forty years, he has performed with the likes of Diahann Carroll, Bob Hope, Al Green and Clark Terry, and was a member of Albuquerque’s Real Time Quartet with guitarist Lewis Winn in the ‘80s and ‘90s.  John Rangel, a New York native who now lives in New Mexico by way of L.A., is a composer, pianist and teacher who has played with artists including Pharoah Sanders and Nat Adderly. Bassist, Michael Glynn was an integral part of the Seattle jazz scene before his recent move to New Mexico. In April 2011, Outpost will host the trio’s 12th and final tribute concert (honoree TBA).
