Drum Master Roy Haynes will turn 83 years old this coming Thursday, March 13th.

On Friday, March 14th I will devote the entire 4 hours of my radio program, "Jazz from Studio Four"

to Roy's recorded output, both as a leader and as a sideman. We'll hear Roy with Bird and Bud,

Monk and Trane, Rollins and Getz, Miles and Chick and dozens others.

Tune in if you can by going to:

Click on "Listen Live"

Enjoy!

Haynes played Paris on March 12, 2007, and when midnight arrived he announced that it was his 82nd birthday and commanded champagne for the entire band. It was brought on stage and they all stood around drinking champagne as Roy held forth with his stream-of-consciousness patter. They put on a hell of a show that night, too.

I recently got the 3-CD+1-DVD box set and it's fantastic. Everybody knows what an extraordinary career he's had, but it's still startling to actually hear that range.
