Editorial Reviews
Randall Kremer, Smithsonian Institution
Dyad, the brilliant new album by Ken Hatfield, brings to full flower the extraordinary compositions and musicianship of one of the great talents in jazz.

Product Description
Nine original jazz compositions--five with Brazilian overtones--performed by an ensemble of guitar, bass, drums, and violin, augmented with viola, Brazilian percussion instruments, and vocals. Throughout the history of jazz there have been notable ensembles with a front line of guitar and violin, such as Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti, Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, John McLaughlin and Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra), and Steve Morse and Mark O'Connor (Dixie Dregs). In his new release Dyad, Ken Hatfield has expanded upon this tradition by composing music which employs contrapuntal compositional devices and Brazilian rhythms such as Baiao, Samba, and Bossa Nova in a jazz context featuring classical guitar and violin.
