Roy HAYNES - Out Of The Afternoon 1962

Roy HAYNES - Out Of The Afternoon 1962
Label: Grp / Impulse
Audio CD: (January 30, 1996)

Jazz

This splendid-sounding CD reissues a 1962 set from the Roy Haynes Quartet — which, at the time, consisted of Haynes, Henry Grimes on bass, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Roland Kirk on saxes, manzello, stritch, and flutes. The album is a delightful mix of techniques in arrangement and performance, with all of the musicians delivering terrific work — Haynes' drumming is absolutely wonderful here, lightly dancing around the other instruments, Flanagan's piano playing is equally light and delicate, Grimes' bass work is outstanding (during "Raoul" you have a chance to hear one of the few bowed bass solos on records of that era), and there's not much that can be said about Kirk's sax and flute work that hasn't already been said a hundred times, apart from the fact that the flute solos on "Snap Crackle" help this cut emerge as particularly outstanding.

Roy Haynes played with the best, including Trane, Bird, Miles, Monk etc...He may have had a low public profile, but his sound was huge. On "Out of the Afternoon" he's joined by a stellar group, including the eccentric Roland "Rahsaan" Kirk, the blind virtuoso who thought playing only one saxophone at a time was for squares.
Anyway, this album really smokes, and it's all the more delightful for being so obscure. The style is hard to classify--the music is way too cool and the solos too restrained to be bop--but always melodic, and the solos always swing like crazy. Plus, for those new to Rahsaan, his style is a true revelation, and he's never been in better form. Using multiple saxes simultaneously, he creates chords (!) and jaw dropping solo runs, all while sounding in perfect harmony with himself and the rest of the group.

The tunes are all memorable, about half originals, half brilliantly adapted standards. The opener, the classic "Moonrays" makes immediately clear the confidence, consummate musicianship, and brimming originality of this quartet. And the rest of the album makes good on the promise of this first track, particularly on "Snap Crackle" an homage to Roy Haynes' nickname and the crisp, signature sound of his drums, and "Fly Me to the Moon," another beautifully rendered standard full of sultry swing and terrific solos.

In any case, this is highly accessible, extremely musical, and totally swinging jazz that provides a refreshing change from the overplayed classics.

Roy HAYNES - Cracklin' 1963 (REPOST)

Roy HAYNES - Cracklin' 1963 (REPOST)
Label: Ojc
Audio CD: July 30, 1994

Jazz

Throughout his 45 year long career Roy Haynes has played with almost every major artist, and excelled as he played almost every style of jazz. He is one of the rare artists who, while largely underrated, is a legend and an active influence to this day. Fans of Haynes are dedicated, and this cd offers them a rare session from the early 60's featuring him as a leader. The Drummer is backed on this cd by the passionate, bluessoaked tenor of Booker Ervin, Ronnie Mathews on piano, and Larry Ridley on bass. Ervin is a like a force of nature, churning and wailing on "Scoochie" while soft and soothing on "Sketch of Melba". His backround in the blues lifts "Honeydew" and "Bad News Blues". The entire quartet shines on one of the cd's highlights, a modal piece named "Dorian". Haynes' drumming is top shelf, really shining on the track "Under Paris Skys". Mathews and Ridley are solid in support but Ervin and Haynes are the show for this disc. Fans of both men will enjoy this set of straight ahead blues based hard bop, and should check it out.

Roy HAYNES - Cymbalism 1963

Roy HAYNES - Cymbalism 1963
Label: Ojc
Release Date: Aug 20, 2002

Jazz

When he made Cymbalism in 1963, Roy Haynes was a 38-year-old veteran drummer who had played with an astonishing array of jazz artists. As a Boston teenager, he worked with swing stars like Pete Brown and Frankie Newton. He went on to engagements with Luis Russell and Lester Young. Then, as bebop was breaking out, he became a favorite drummer of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Bud Powell, Stan Getz, and Thelonious Monk, among many other leading musicians of the era. He brought to his role as leader the musical wisdom accumulated with those masters, a knack for management, and an ear for rising talent. The careers of pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Larry Ridley, and alto saxophonist Frank Strozier got big boosts when Haynes chose them for his quartet. The snap, crackle, and pop of Haynes's drumming informs Cymbalism throughout, always with swing as infectious in support as when he solos.
**
Well into his septuagenarian years, Roy Haynes is still going strong as a leader behind his venerable drum kit. His sticks and brushes have stoked the fires on countless sessions from early work with Lester Young to later stints with likes of Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Only a handful of living drummers can claim such a lengthy resume of prestigious employers. Back when this recently reissued record was waxed, Haynes was in the midst of an artistically fertile contract with the New Jazz label. He was also fortuitously entrenched at the epicenter of modern jazz, and as such could call on the trio of resourceful and forward thinking sidemen who join him for the date.
Thanks to the ubiquitous Rudy Van Gelder the album features beautiful stereo separation of the instruments, with Strozier’s effusive flute banking melodically off the firm rhythmic resolve of his partners on “Modette.” Ridley moves to the fore for the closing bars of the composition, thrumming out a fast encapsulation of the guiding harmonic current before diffusing into silence. Strozier’s salty alto breezes through the changes of the old warhorse “I’m Getting Sentimental…” setting up a series of breaks by Haynes that measure out sizeable strength with sophisticated subtlety. Strozier’s reentry and subsequent string of choruses follows an analogous path of swinging urbanity up to a fluttering end. The brief, but highly grooving “Go N’ Git It!” spotlights Matthews and the pianist pays his debt to the gospel-inflections of one Horace Silver with some funky rolling comping. Strozier shows some soul by sashaying through the theme and into a solo steeped in hot buttered blues. A lengthy medley winds things up, and the seams between the trio of themes are well stitched. Haynes’ crisp press rolls and cymbal accents are the guideposts alongside Ridley’s rock solid harmonic anchors. Strozier serves up some of his most ebullient playing of the session, particularly on the closing snippet of Sonny Rollins’ classic “Oleo.” Even Ridley has plenty of room to move and makes invigorating use of the space with carefully orchestrated plucks. Haynes rep was well cemented at the time of this session and has only grown in the intervening decades, but it’s a privilege to have access to one of his early dates
as a leader just the same.
