Editorial Reviews

New York Times
"Wherever one finds a percussion instrument waiting to be struck or strummed, [Haas] is probably nearby...with consummate expertise."

Product Description
In a unique career that spans over twenty years, virtuoso Jonathan Haas has single-handedly raised the status of the timpani to that of a solo instrument, becoming the foremost solo timpanist in the world. This recording from Haas and his jazz group, Johnny H. and the Prisoners of Swing, is an innovative rendering of jazz featuring ‘hot timpani’ in front of a full jazz ensemble. Haas' rediscovery of Duke Ellington’s brilliant composition for jazz timpani, "Tympaturbably Blue," is included on this recording, as are other jazz standards played on a set of ten kettledrums.
