Trey Ivey Joins Legacy Five

Legacy Five has announced via press release that Trey Ivey, formerly of the Lefevre Quartet and Old Paths, is the group’s new pianist.  This is a bit of a change for Legacy Five, as they had two established veterans in Roger Bennett and Tim Parton previously.  Ivey is a young, up and coming talent in SG circles, so it will be interesting to see how he gels with the group.  Incidentally, Ivey was pianist for the Lefevre Quartet when Gus Gaches was the tenor, so the two are reuniting with Legacy Five.  Also, it will be interesting to see if Ivey will continue in Parton’s tradition of adding a 5th vocal part occasionally.  I don’t know anything about Ivey’s vocal ability, but prior to his L5 tenure, I’d have said the same thing about Tim Parton.  You can read the full press release here.
