Roy Haynes Quartet • Out Of The Afternoon

Review
by Steven McDonald
Out of the Afternoon is a splendid sounding 1962 set from the Roy Haynes Quartet -- which, at the time, consisted of Haynes, Henry Grimes on bass, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Roland Kirk on saxes, manzello, stritch, and flutes. The album is a delightful mix of techniques in arrangement and performance, with all of the musicians delivering terrific work. Haynes' drumming is absolutely wonderful here, lightly dancing around the other instruments; Flanagan's piano playing is equally light and delicate; Grimes' bass work is outstanding (during "Raoul" you have a chance to hear one of the few bowed bass solos on records of that era); and there's no more to be said about Kirk's sax and flute work that hasn't been said a hundred times, apart from the fact that the flute solos on "Snap Crackle" help this cut emerge as particularly outstanding.

Out of the Afternoon es un espléndido disco de 1962 del Roy Haynes Quartet - que, en aquel momento, estaba formado por Haynes, Henry Grimes al bajo, Tommy Flanagan al piano y Roland Kirk a los saxos, manzello, stritch y flautas. El álbum es una deliciosa mezcla de técnicas en los arreglos y la interpretación, con todos los músicos realizando un trabajo estupendo. La batería de Haynes es absolutamente maravillosa aquí, bailando ligeramente alrededor de los otros instrumentos; el piano de Flanagan es igualmente ligero y delicado; el trabajo del bajo de Grimes es sobresaliente (durante "Raoul" tienes la oportunidad de escuchar uno de los pocos solos de bajo con arco en los discos de esa época); y no hay nada más que decir sobre el trabajo de Kirk con el saxo y la flauta que no se haya dicho cientos de veces, aparte del hecho de que los solos de flauta en "Snap Crackle" ayudan a que este corte emerja como particularmente excepcional.
