My memory for specific details that far back is very foggy. But back in the early 1960's I went to hear the Roy Haynes Quartet playing at the Drome Lounge in Detroit. My recollection is that he had with him, Frank Strozier, Larry Ridley and (I think perhaps) Richard Wyands. At that time I was contributing a short column on jazz in Detroit for the Canadian jazz magazine CODA. I wrote a brief review of that Roy Haynes Quartet gig. It was positive review.

I am in agreement with Steve. For certain specific musical purposes, cutting out the soloists other than Bird may have been ok.. It may even have been a way to save money by conserving tape. However at the basic level, I do not find much pleasure in listening to those entire albums of Bird solos separate from the entire tune.

A very good CD, that I suspect few are aware of here.
