Otis Hayes III has been on the jazz scene for many years. As a drummer he has performed, recorded, or toured with a long list of artist that looks like a Who's Who list in the music business including; James Brown, The Temptations, Ice-T, and Martha Reeves. His sophistication and clarity on the drums and his sultry melodic touch on the VIBRAPHONE really shine through on this debut record. The eclectic nature of this album shows a wide range of Otis' composing talents in R&B, traditional and contemporary jazz genres.

    Having met Otis personally, I realize that he is as cool a person, as he is an extraordinary musician. His CD is melodic and relaxing, and I enjoy listening to it! TWO THUMBS UP,buddy.

    author: Lisa Hayes

    I LOVE the African and Brazillian Fusion on this CD! My favorites are "Africa" and "Bahia"! I also loved the Waltz of the Weeds and listened to it over and over in my office all day long! Thank you for this gift.

    I got stuck in traffic on the 405 for an hour the other day but Otis cd chill me out and I was feeling good coming home. CONGRATS! "O"

  • AWESOME!
    author: Pat Spearman

    Otis, has put together a Masterpiece. This CD captures a wide range of emotions;exciting, smooth, melancholy, and exotic. If this CD were a Painting--it would rival van Gough. If it were a designer gown it would be better than a Vesace. His "Freshman" product is great; it sets a very high standard for his "Sophmore" project. Par Excellence!

  • Outstanding, Magnificient, Excellent, Marvoulous, Breathtaking
    author: Greg Page, Nashville Tennessee

    This is an outstanding CD, I felt cheated getting just 2 minute samples. I can’t wait to get the actual CD. I hope these cuts get air play through the radio media, to allow the masses to experience this excellent masterpiece. I will be sending this sample and offer to all of my email family, friends and associates.

  • An absolute pleasure !
    author: Maurizio Fragasso

    Great CD. Smooth, melodical and a real pleasure to listen to. The Vibraphone takes center stage and leads throughout the tracks... Fantastic. Otis Hayes does it with his Vibraphone, just as George Benson does it with his Guitar.

  • Otis is the MAN!
    author: Ivan Bodley

    Otis Hayes and I work together on the road with Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. He's an impeccable musician, night after night, never missing a beat. His CD sounds as great as I would expect, knowing what he's capable of. This is the perfect chill-out album.
