Jazz Stories, combines the swinging exciting music with legend Bernard Purdie and company plus some great stories told by David Haney.  Haney talked to each of these artists and had them to recount the following stories for Cadence Magazine: Sonny Rollins, The Bridge Story;  John McLaughlin's story about recording with Miles Davis; Gunter Hampel remembers Thelonious Monk; Steve Swallow recalls his trip to Jamaica with Herbie Nichols. Bernard Purdie explains the Purdie Shuffle.

"Haney and Purdie fit together like interlocking parts of a jigsaw puzzle... These two makes a really strong and fascinating team." Cadence Magazine

"I’m very happy to have worked with Dave Haney. That’s number one. Dave did a thing for me. He actually brought me back to creativity. Just doing things wild – I mean all of the unexpected stuff that you can possibly think of. And it got me thinking: wow, I haven’t done this in 30-35 years! Interview with Bernard Purdie, Oregon Music News

"Haney tells these tales with the dramatic flair of a Garrison Keillor."   Cadence Magazine


"Mr. Haney is a pianist drawn to experimental settings, and he creates a promising one here." The New York Times
