Roy is the history of drums in jazz and is also interesting as a human being. Perhaps his longevity is being so ironic and witty.

I love Roy Haynes, he's one of the best drummers of all time, and one of the coolest guys too - It's a shame that this interview stays on the surface, Matt Wilson just can't manage to place even one good "question"...

[@AdrianDeVore]

This interview with Roy Haynes "on the surface" because Matt Wilson isn't a journalist. He's a fellow drummer. Unless Mr. Wilson studied journalism and understood its parameters, there isn't going to be anything in depth with this interview.
