R.I.P Roy Haynes March 13, 1925 - November 12, 2024

[@producer2123]

This tribute to Roy Haynes is beautiful. He will never be forgotten in the jazz world. Thank you so very much!

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

indeed thank you for this upload.

[@laurentlemoing6338]

R.I.P Roy Haynes, you will remain a legend, one of the greats of jazz drumming !....

[@Johnnycdrums]

My old man, handed me down the album. "Out In The Afternoon"

[@jimtakahashi4638]

Roy has been 1 of my very fave drummers for decades. His drumming was very dynamic yet very sensible and sensitive. What a powerful, soulful, tasteful and intelligent drummer!

[@blackcatjazzin]

You said what I wanted to say, Rest easy great one 😢

[@blakesbeatscolie]

Ditto! You said exactly and perfectly what I feel about one of the most infinitely amazing musicians and humans EVER!! R.I.P. to one of THE greatest drummers of all time 🙌🏼👏🏻🙏🏻

[@haroldbrooks4235]

Always heard of him but had never actually heard him until about 10 years ago. An amazing drummer

[@sheercerebralpower]

The Corea/Haynes/Vitous trio is incredible!❤

[@---wd3hp]

I approached Roy at a gig he had at the Blue Note and asked him when he was going to play with Chick Corea next. It was a small talk stupid question on my part and basically made him secondary to Chick in his mind. His answer was a gruff, I don't know, you'd have to ask Chick. In my feeble defense, I was there to see Roy play.

[@unpeople]

I saw them during their '83 tour in Troy, NY. I actually got to meet Chick and Roy when someone pulled the fire alarm and I went out the same side exit as them. 🤣 Ultra-cool dudes, both of them, and so great together. RIP

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

And we lost Chick in all 😢 It’s like Bob Dylan sang: “Time is a jet plane/ it moves too fast/ oh but what shame that all we’ve shared can’t last.”

[@GlenBoyle-w7v]

Rest in peace Roy. Roy was one of the finest bebop jazz drummers to walk this earth.

[@TonySchopp]

99 years of life here in America. He saw all its highs and all its lows. He formed the past and taught the future. Roy, you were one of the last ground floor jazz guys alive and we thank you for your impressive reign on the drums. You’ll forever be a historical figure inside Americas greatest contribution to the world… RIP, good sir. RIP.

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

Wow 99 years. I’ll cherish my Yamaha Roy Haynes copper snare drum even more now. Love you buddy! Rest easy..

[@Johnnycdrums]

You better.

[@tiluriso]

R.I.P. Roy Haynes, one of the OG Bop to Post Bop Giants, his playing on Chick Corea's 'Now He Sings, Now He Sobs' and Pat Metheny's 'Question And Answer' are some real fantastic examples of RH's playing. His music and legacy and influence live on. What an incredible, stellar example of Roy's musicality, on the tune w/ Stan Getz, Steve Swallow and Gary Burton. I had never seen that historic footage, thanks for sharing.

[@GregGuzDrum]

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Roy Hayes for a college project. I was going to school in Philadelphia and his group was playing at the Village Vanguard in NYC. I drove up to New York, watched an incredible set played with finesse and style. At the end of the gig his piano and bass player were sitting at the bar and I walked up to them and asked "is Roy still here, I'd like to ask him a couple of questions" the piano player shrug the shoulders and pointed towards the dressing room area and said "he's probably over there, why don't you go take a look." I walked over to the dressing room and Roy is sitting at a small table, bottle of water in his hand, wiping the sweat from his head with a small towel. He was incredibly gracious and answered every question that I had. This was when he was 80 years old. I remember walking away from that moment thinking I hope I look that good when I am 80, much less sound that good. Fountain Of Youth Indeed!

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

I met Mr. Haynes after show once in NYC. He was nice enough to talk to me for a few minutes. Not only one of the best players on the planet, a genuinely super nice guy. RIP 🙏

[@bryandickerson5365]

Thanks again, Bret, for always doing such a wonderful job honoring the greats when they pass. 99 years full of glorious music..wow, what a legacy! RIP Mr Haynes.

[@adrianlyord5300]

The Body will pass away but his soul will forever ♾️ stay! Rest in peace Roy Haynes and thank you for all your great work! ❤🙏🥁

[@darrylcarter9355]

I had the Pleasure of Experiencing Seeing & Talking with Mr. Haynes many times at the Detroit Jazz Festival,🥁🎼🎵🎶🥁🎙️🥁🎶🎵🎼!!!!!

[@3340steve]

Ahhh, that was so WONDERFUL, to be able to enjoy Roy HAYNES music. Rest easy, thank you for sharing this excellent music.

[@ivanlukic2360]

Greetings from Serbia. Thank you for this excellent Roy Haynes video. A life in service of great music.

[@ThomasVariale]

Roy Haynes I love the way you played . A self-made millionaire musically.😊

[@yuvalshayel]

What a legend. Thanks for the video.

[@lastknowngood0]

The great Snap Crackle who played with so many of the greats. Rest easy Sir. You are already sorely missed!

[@luiszuluaga6575]

That snap. Yesss…

[@geraldcourson4506]

Wow, what a loss! One of the all-time greats! One of the pioneers of four-way coordination. R.I.P.

[@TomRivieremusic]

I grew up listening to him.Very good drummer.He had a wonderful life.Gone not forgotten.

[@mikecannon3044]

Roy's been right here, everywhere, all my life. That just won't change at all. Thank you for posting this right away! I'm thinkin' what'd I miss along the way? Peace and Love to All listening 💝

[@virgiliomora2904]

One of the last my drummer-musicians heroes!! I met him once off stage in a concert in Portugal and, knowing my love for jazz drumming, said to me: If you come to New York send me a post card before. Mr. Haynes what is your address. Just write Roy Haynes, New York city. Everybody knows Roy Haynes. Even if this is not totally true, everybody should listen to his art and craft. Still is my favourite drummer in a guitar trio. That record trio of Pat Metheney, Dave Holland and the master Haynes recorded in one day. Holland had never played with Mr. Haynes before. Always on my mind and heart Mr. Haynes wherever you are.

[@ericpaulinjazz]

I watched your video tribute to mr Haynes a few hrs After you posted it. A beautiful tribute, the footage from the 60s I’ve seen, but what an amazing solo! Chicks trio in Japan Is also amazing(I saw that trio at the Vanguard in 1982). I was fortunate enough to have seen Roy many times since the early 1970s, some of those gigs were unusual and unique. I talked to him and had a few conversations over the years, when he was on a break, always friendly and so informative. Of course, he is one of the greatest innovators in modern jazz,Having influenced basically every drummer who came after him.ty Brett & god bless Roy Haynes🙏

[@UPdan]

An exceptional, creative drummer. And very fashionable.

[@magiccarpetmusic2449]

An absolute master, one of a kind, rhythmic and percussive genius. There will never be another. See you on the other side, Roy.

[@denzilmiller2452]

My sincere condolences to CRAIG, GRAHAM and the family and friends of the great ROY HAYNES! I am extremely grateful 🙏 for having been an exponent of the ROY HAYNES HIP ENSEMBLE back in the 70's. He taught me so much about playing jazz and performing live on various stages in many venues! I will never forget when I was a guest at his house in LONG ISLAND, he exclaimed that he played with the great CHARLIE PARKER! What a revelation! His sense of time as well as his sensitivity to music was outstanding and phenomenal! Thank you ROY HAYNES for your contribution to AMERICA'S CLASSICAL 🎶 MUSIC known as jazz. I will never forget your influence and inspiration! May you rest in power and peace! Your former piano player, DENZIL A. MILLER, JUNIOR!!!

[@guysauco5426]

Un de mes batteurs préférés, et pour tant d autres.Jamais vous ne serez oublié, vous êtes Mr Haynes, la definition de l'Art et la Pureté .RIP in swing.

[@kennyblackbird5674]

He was really youthful and a spirited drummer. I thought he'd live forever! Only a Pisces like Roy would be 30 years younger than his actual age! Riparadise🙏🙏🙏

[@callmejeffbob]

I literally was just wondering yesterday whether the great Roy Haynes was still with us. He was indeed still with us yesterday but now I find out that today he's gone. Ninety nine years! What a career he had, what an imaginative drummer, and apparently what a great person he was. Think about all the musical associations he had over the years with Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughn, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Roland Kirk, Stan Getz, John Coltrane, Oliver Nelson, Eric Dolphy, Chick Corea, Gary Burton and so many more. RIP Mr. Snap Crackle! I'll come back later to watch the rest of this tribute...thank you for doing this.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Thank you for watching!

[@purplebondsaiyan2987]

​@@JazzVideoGuy Great Tribute Bret Loved Roy Haynes RIP One of my Favorite Drummer

[@callmejeffbob]

@@JazzVideoGuy I just came back in to watch the rest of the entire video. Wow, great footage of two incredible bands. Thanks

[@mikebassy]

No comments yet . God bless this man and his family. Such a great drummer and I remember the live at St Nicks Charlie Parker LP which I think had Roy Haynes on the cover . The Pat Metheny LP Question and Answer was out of this orbit . Great great drumming. The bit of film Jazz on a Summer's Day with Thelonius Monk and Henry Grimes and Roy is outstanding of course . The live at Newport with John Coltrane with Roy subbing for Elvin Jones another legendary recording. The LP Times Square with Gary Burton and Steve Swallow with Roy and Tiger on trumpet. The Bud Powell LP on Blue Night with Sonny Rollins and Fats Navarro. What another great record with Tommy Potter on Bass . Saw Roy live in 1999 at the Pizza Express in London with his trio and yeah of course it was off the chart , great trio . Another time he was in Ronnie Scott's watching Elvin Jones but yeah we were watching him watching Elvin ! Loved that film with him and Chick and Mirislav in Japan that was class stuff. The man has been a jazz super hero

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Well said!

[@DreBDrums]

I'm deeply saddened. What a immense talent. Great feel and touch on the instrument. RIP.

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Grrrr....I'm just finding out.....was rooting for him to make it a few more months to crack the century mark....RIP, not many in jazz made it this far

[@t.lawrence1214]

One of the rare musicians and perhaps the only drummer to record noted sessions with Prez, Bird and Trane. Lester Young, Charlie Parker and John Coltrane ... Om

[@user-os9pu4vm5v]

One of the finest touch on the drums. RIP Mr Roy Haynes.

[@DRUMJOCK]

Brett, you are an amazing asset to the jazz loving community. Thank You,

[@freejazzvan]

I saw Roy Haynes play a couple of times at the Vancouver Jazz Festival. Loved the encore with him and just a high-hat for several minutes. Great sense of humour. Cowboy hat and boots... he had style. Thanks for posting this and glad he lived 99 years.

[@olejazzer]

Wow Brother Bret. Bless you and blessings to Roy's family. Thank you for the news.

[@JazzMessenger1218]

God Bless Roy Haynes. Saw him with Stan Getz many years ago. Enjoyed one of his birthday shows at the Blue Note. His lovely daughter introduced me to Roy who signed a beautiful picture of him sitting behind his kit. 🙏🎵❤️

[@bradc32]

legendary player

[@kraka2oanIner]

WOW...just short of 100! I hope/think he deserved a long life. Superbly incredible drummer! I saw him with Chick Corea and Miroslav Vitous once...they killed it! Afterword, the three came out for a bow, and it was the extreme of Large, Medium, and Small, with Miroslav quite tall, Chick in the middle, and Roy was the shorty! Hillarious... more importantly, the music utterly COOKED. They complimented each other really well. A magical trio(!)

[@bassmonk2920]

RIP Roy thanks for your legacy...

[@msticdrumr]

Journey Well Roy...You are Loved and thank you for your Indomitable Spirit!!!

[@coolruler8856]

That ROY-ALTY album with Roy Hargrove & Chick was my first introduction to this gentleman . I loved his drumming on Equipoise by Stanley Cowell , it’s s pure Fire 🔥. In his interview about the song Equipoise he said “ I played that song like it was mine man “ . Until he found out that Stanley Cowell wrote the song for his daughter . 😅 That generation of Jazz players through there music , helped through some dark times in life , that lasted for 11yrs . Their music has a different meaning to me . Thanks Brother .

[@ironcloudz52]

his groove lives on.with his thousands of disciples.

[@stixplayer]

Had a long and wonderful life! He will be missed but no need to morn he should be celebrated.

[@zangsax]

Many genius drummers . Nobody rocks my boat like Roy Haynes and Jack DeJohnette.

[@williamjackson6705]

Although I came to appreciate Roy later in my listening I really enjoyed his work. His albums Out of the afternoon, Just US and We Three are now some of my favorites. An amazing talent. I say that a lot but Jazz is filled with so many of them.

[@JazzGuru]

What an absolute legend! As a jazz drummer myself (Connie Kay being my idol), Roy Haynes had a large influence on my playing when I first got into jazz, and I still love him to this day...

[@JD-es5bh]

Thank you; this was a real pleasure. & I love how much laughter and good vibes this video ends with - a perfect farewell for such a man

Glad you enjoyed it!

Not only 99 years of life, but he was still playing in his 90s - he had a pretty spectacular career 😎. RIP

[@БорисПрусаков-р1п]

The most of GREATER' drummers in the World!!!❤

[@hirscheba]

Great comp! What a vibrant 99 year old he was. Greatness transcends the concept of age!

[@alexpavchinski]

I remember buying the LP, "Out of the Afternoon," because Roy Haynes was on it, and I'm not even a drummer. Every LP with Roy Haynes is a must have!

[@ericmalone3213]

We didn't lose Roy Haines. Roy Haines isn't lost. He's in the fabric of our psyche.

[@cooldebt]

R.I.P. to a drumming great. And that intro (and motif) on the vibes in Jive Hoot reminded me of something - then I realised it was a jazzy Mario Kart Frappe Snowland (I can't help it, I listen to brilliant Aussie ensemble The Consouls all day!)

[@barisbungybass3577]

R.I.P. Thank you very much for everything you do. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DistantLights]

RIP to one of the last surviving legends! What a life he has led

[@stevemartin4249]

"Live Under the Sky" was a yearly jazz festival at Keio Yomiuriland, not 5 minutes by car from my apartment. I came to Japan in '83, but didn't move to this location until about5 years later, so I missed the 83' event. But before the event came to a close, I did see the likes of Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Milton Nascimento, and Pat Metheny among others. Japan is a paradise for jazz lovers. R.I.P. Roy Haynes.

[@tripacer2005]

We lost another great old school drummer RIP Roy

[@scatdad]

My dad Marky Markowitz played with Roy on many occasions,he played trumpet and passed in 1986

A truly great musician -few drummers will match his versatility and prowess playing with such an enormous number of wonderful jazz musicians. A wonderful tribute to a great jazz man.

Was lucky enough to see a 90th birthday performance that he played at Blue Note in NYC, with Christian McBride and Pat Metheny. Roy was still going strong at 90!

[@jamied1969]

[@longhaulblue]

Corea and Haynes are like rhythm soul mates. The way they read each other is uncanny. RIP Roy.
