Roy Haynes Quartet • Live At The Riverbop

Biography by Scott Yanow
A veteran drummer long overshadowed by others, but finally gaining recognition for his talents and versatility, Roy Haynes has been a major player since the 1940s. He worked early on with the Sabby Lewis big band, Frankie Newton, Luis Russell (1945-1947), and Lester Young (1947-1949). After some engagements with Kai Winding, Haynes was a member of the Charlie Parker Quintet (1949-1952); he also recorded during this era with Bud Powell, Wardell Gray, and Stan Getz. Haynes toured the world with Sarah Vaughan (1953-1958); played with Thelonious Monk in 1958; led his own group; and gigged with George Shearing, Lennie Tristano, Eric Dolphy, and Getz (1961). He was Elvin Jones' occasional substitute with John Coltrane's classic quartet during 1961-1965, toured with Getz (1965-1967), and was with Gary Burton (1967-1968). In addition to touring with Chick Corea (1981 and 1984) and Pat Metheny (1989-1990), Haynes has led his own Hip Ensemble on and off during the past several decades. When one considers that he has also gigged with Miles Davis, Art Pepper, Horace Tapscott, and Dizzy Gillespie, it is fair to say that Haynes has played with about everyone. He led dates for EmArcy and Swing (both in 1954), New Jazz (1958 and 1960), Impulse (a 1962 quartet album with Roland Kirk), Pacific Jazz, Mainstream, Galaxy, Dreyfus, Evidence, and Storyville. In 1994, Haynes was awarded the Danish Jazzpar prize, and two years later, he received the prestigious French Chevalier des l'Ordres Artes et des Lettres. In the late '90s, Haynes formed a trio with pianist Danilo Perez and bassist John Pattitucci, and they released their debut album, The Roy Haynes Trio Featuring Danilo Perez & John Pattitucci, in early 2000 on Verve. Haynes' son Graham is an excellent cornetist. Haynes paid tribute to Charlie Parker in 2001 with Birds of a Feather, his fourth release for the Dreyfus Jazz label, which was subsequently nominated for a Grammy in 2002; Fountain of Youth followed two years later. Also released in 2004, Quiet Fire compiled two of his prior releases for Galaxy (1977's Thank You Thank You and 1978's Vistalite) into one back-to-back record. Whereas appeared in mid-2006, and it earned Haynes a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Roy Haynes, un veterano baterista eclipsado durante mucho tiempo por otros, pero que finalmente ha obtenido reconocimiento por su talento y versatilidad, ha sido un músico importante desde la década de 1940. Trabajó desde el principio con la big band de Sabby Lewis, Frankie Newton, Luis Russell (1945-1947) y Lester Young (1947-1949). Tras algunos compromisos con Kai Winding, Haynes fue miembro del Charlie Parker Quintet (1949-1952); también grabó durante esta época con Bud Powell, Wardell Gray y Stan Getz. Haynes recorrió el mundo con Sarah Vaughan (1953-1958); tocó con Thelonious Monk en 1958; dirigió su propio grupo; y actuó con George Shearing, Lennie Tristano, Eric Dolphy y Getz (1961). Fue sustituto ocasional de Elvin Jones en el cuarteto clásico de John Coltrane durante 1961-1965, realizó giras con Getz (1965-1967) y estuvo con Gary Burton (1967-1968). Además de realizar giras con Chick Corea (1981 y 1984) y Pat Metheny (1989-1990), Haynes ha dirigido su propio Hip Ensemble de forma intermitente durante las últimas décadas. Si tenemos en cuenta que también ha tocado con Miles Davis, Art Pepper, Horace Tapscott y Dizzy Gillespie, es justo decir que Haynes ha tocado con casi todo el mundo. Dirigió conciertos para EmArcy y Swing (ambos en 1954), New Jazz (1958 y 1960), Impulse (un álbum de cuarteto de 1962 con Roland Kirk), Pacific Jazz, Mainstream, Galaxy, Dreyfus, Evidence y Storyville. En 1994, Haynes recibió el premio danés Jazzpar, y dos años más tarde, el prestigioso Chevalier des l'Ordres Artes et des Lettres francés. A finales de los 90, Haynes formó un trío con el pianista Danilo Pérez y el bajista John Pattitucci, y publicaron su álbum de debut, The Roy Haynes Trio Featuring Danilo Perez & John Pattitucci, a principios de 2000 en Verve. El hijo de Haynes, Graham, es un excelente cornetista. Haynes rindió homenaje a Charlie Parker en 2001 con Birds of a Feather, su cuarto trabajo para el sello Dreyfus Jazz, que fue nominado a un Grammy en 2002; Fountain of Youth le siguió dos años más tarde. Quiet Fire, publicado también en 2004, recopilaba dos de sus anteriores trabajos para Galaxy (Thank You Thank You, de 1977, y Vistalite, de 1978) en un disco consecutivo. Whereas apareció a mediados de 2006, y le valió a Haynes una nominación al Grammy al Mejor Solo Instrumental de Jazz.
