Steve Haines

Beginner's Mind

Renowned saxophonist Dick Oatts calls Steve Haines, "a bright light in the future of jazz". Haines' debut recording, Beginner's Mind , not only showcases his mastery of the bass, but also the great passion and clarity of his writing. The front line of Rob Smith (tpt) and Dave Lown (tenor sax) are superb, and are strongly supported by the hard swingin' rhythm section of Chip Crawford (piano), Thomas Taylor (drums), and Steve. What a band sound they have-let's hope these guys stay together.
