It's a pleasure seeing a drummer age with dignity.
National treasure . Style . Class . Smart . Great Humor . Total Inspiration . and then we can talk for days about his drumming !
A DRUMMING LEGEND ORGANIC AND EMOTIONAL
yes, Roy is one of a kind
Roy is all about style. Love it.
Really hope I can move like that at 87. He's got all his marbles still, too. Great sense of humor too.
God bless Roy Haynes, one of the few living grand masters around!
Oral history of jazz at it's best.. I wish it was three hours long
so right
This is priceless!! I wish the complete interview could be posted....Mr. Haynes is so classic and great..words can't express!
The last living Jazz Legend. I hope this awesome gentleman is around for many more years to come.
The fact he is 90 years old is absolutely unbelievable. He seems so young and vivid. That is a lesson in how to fucking live life. LIVE IT! Whatever is in front of you, just live it god damn.
Respect, its so cool listening to these cats who set EVERYTHING in motion with the HISTORY of modern DRUMMING. WE love you and respect you for everything you have contributed, love again netzah
I would listen to "Papa" Roy for days.... he's n. 1
I love that man. I wish I was attending his 90th birthday party.
Sweet! It's so important to have this documented because he mentions Papa Jo! So important to have the verbal history.
he's 87 ....
goddamn , he looks stronger and younger than most of us at around 40s
Saw him live and it was intense. Non stop action
Pleasant interview and interviewer, something you rarely see nowadays.
Yes, the interviewer was excellent. Not jumping ahead of the guest. Excellent flow
Those glasses are so fly!
What a great interview,truly inspirational.
Great interview, great questions, but still has a relaxed style!
Man, Roy is still Cool. Forever Cool.
"I thought i've heard you say 'Rudiments' " Wow this Man is special .
There are only 3 rudiments: single stroke, double stroke & flam. All the others are made up of those 3.
This is incredible thank you so so much
Big ups JVD for the posting!
What a treasure! Mr. Roy Haynes!!
omg. incredible. thanks!!!!! we want more!
Entertaining interview, and what a character! I've listened to thousands of records and enjoy drums/percussion, and still hear stuff that sounds interesting/original. But the first time I heard drum performances that "transformed my way of listening" remain the most powerful influence on me. In reverse order, I'd say they'd be 3) hearing Mitch Mitchell's fills on Hendrix's Wait until Tomorrow (toms) and Killing Floor (in general) when I was age 16; 2) hearing Michael Shrieve's hi-hat work on Santana's Waiting, and how they played off the Afro-Cuban rhythms, at age 18, and no.1 (to this day), hearing Roy Haynes' cymbal work on Solar w/Metheny & Holland at age 21. I listened to that album (Q&A) thereafter a lot purely in an attempt to understand what it was that transformed the way I was hearing music. And it was Haynes' cymbal/hi-hat work alone. The day I came to appreciate that was the first day that I came to develop an ear for listening to some jazz. Now I probably listen primarily to jazz, and it is still all due to some aural initiation from listening to Haynes' cymbal work. And I don't even know him from other records! Interesting thing about his tap-dance here, a bit like Buddy Rich, is that a lot of legendary old drummers were also talented dancers (if not quite up to the Jimmy Cagney level). I wonder if that is equally true of famous drummers today?
I like your input,Really? the drummers of those times were also great drummers!!!
He is 87 yrs old on this video. Coolest guy.
This is great. Don't forget to check out drummer Nasar Abadey as well!
Great!!!!!!!!!!! Ty!
In spite of his long illustrious past, somehow Roy Haynes manages to come off as a visitor from the future
And he's still here!
nice!
found this in an interview: JW: How do you stay so young? Is it a diet and workout thing?
RH: No, no, there’s no secret. I work out mentally. I always watch what I eat. And I have a 10-speed bike that I haven’t had time to ride as much as I’d like. I don’t’ eat pork. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
Leyenda en Vida!!!!!! ;)
The greatest drummers you ever HEARD? Crap you are one of the top five drummers EVER. So endlessly influential, especially his hi-hat playing. Drummers are still stealing stuff off his work with Chick Corea. He is still cool and nice it is just bad ass.
great inspiration. His glasses are too rad tho!
The Boss..how much does he charge for a session?
Does ANYBODY know what kind of glasses those are?
Iguana glasses
Fucking Amazing!!!!
That is Roy.
Look like Some shades Sun-Ra would wear
no doubt
totally hip
what the heck is his secret for looking and sounding like he is in his 40's? No joke!
