Jazz drummer Louis Hayes played with a host of jazz greats including Cannonball Adderley, Horace Silver, and Oscar Peterson and his notorious ensemble nurtured the talents of such notable sidemen as Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Kenny Barron and James Spaulding. In this 1979 album, his sextet takes on a mix of well-known stardards and fresh originals with the incredibly unique vocal styles of Leon Thomas on Little SUnflower and Nisha. A brilliant soulful, jazz release with funk elements, Variety Is the Spice was given new life in 2007 when The Brand New Heavies and Q-Tip sampled Dance With Me for their Sometimes Remix.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
