RIP to a legend.  As Sassy (and Rahsaan) said:   "Roy.  Haynes !"

+1. Amazing career.

I think Tommy Flanagan voiced the above (emphasis added) on Out of the Afternoon.

Wow, Benny Golson, now Roy Haynes and Lou Donaldson. Is Sonny the only one left?

Looks like Terry Gibbs, Martial Solal, Dick Hyman, Sheila Jordan, Marshall Allen & Bill Crow in addition to Sonny are the last notable contemporaries alive from that era. Guys like Herbie, Reggie Workman & Ron Carter came of age in the next generation.

He was an drummer. Must be something if you’re able to say you’ve played with both Bird and Trane. 
 

Haynes finest moment imo:

that’s some serious tight drumming 😍. Not a lot of people could have replaced Jones without affecting the chemistry of the Classic Quartet

RIP Mr Haynes you were amazing.

What a musical life

AAJ: I was just listening to Roy Haynes playing with Andrew Hill [Black Fire, Blue Note 4151] and I was thinking to myself, wow, Roy Haynes in '63 sounds like Sunny Murray in '61!

SM [laughing]: Let me tell you a little story now that you mentioned that; well Cecil got this gig at a place on Bleecker and Broadway called Take 3, and we played there about a month. It was the kind of place that would be open all night, there'd be drunken soldiers and gay guys fighting, and hookers, and we made a dollar and a half, some nights two. And one night while I was playing, and Cecil says to me 'Sunny' and I said 'what, we just got started, what's up?' And Cecil whispers, 'Max Roach is in the audience. He's sittin' right up front.' And I almost lost my sticks, you know. And so he stayed a set, and then the night after, it's very true, speaking of Roy Haynes, I was setting up and sitting at my drums, and you know I love these cats and I would carry these cats on my shoulders somewhere, and I looked behind me, Roy Haynes is sitting there in the same funky donkey grace. And he smiles and he says, 'you don't like someone sitting behind you, right?' And I said, 'no sir, that's right.' And he laughs and said okay, and he went and sat in front. And we've been friends and I told this story to his son, Graham, and Graham saw me later (we played together a lot) and said 'dad said exactly what you said, man.'

From an interview I did with Murray in 2003. It's on the AAJ site, which I detest and refuse to drive traffic to, but if you want me to email you a pdf I'll gladly do that.

Might add Helen Merrill and Dizzy Reece to the first list as well.

And Gene di Novi. I forgot that he had played with Bird as well as Prez. 

Radio broadcasts with Bird from Royal Roost on March 5th and March 12th 1949.

Recorded with Pres on Dec 29 '47.  Results now on Blue Note. To the best of my knowledge still alive and living in Toronto.  (Not sure he's still in Toronto.)

One of my favourites, I loved everything he did with Bird, Diz, Bud and with Trane and with his own group. 

Saw him live I think about 2005 or so....., but the others where unknown to me. 

He must be the last one, who stil lived recently and had played with Bird and with Bud. 

His recordings with Bird on St. Nick,  on Summit Meeting at Birdland (the best) and on "Happy Bird" , all of them live recordings are treat. 

Especially I like that set at Birdland with Bird and Diz and Bud (those great "genullmen" of modern music ---quote from Symphony Sid) , that´s some of the greatest bop ever. 

And on recordings with Bud Powell in Quintet and Trio he is much better recorded than others. The best one again are the quintet recordings like those with Bird and Diz or the one with Fats and Rollins, and listen to "Winter Session" from the Birdland recordings and you know why it sounds better than other trio recordings: Because of Roy Haynes!!!!! And on that strange and late discovered "Kavakos Club Washington", same here, listen to Roy playing on "Woodyn You" and "Salt Peanuts"....
