Bol Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I am listening to the new Roy Haynes recording. He is just soooo good!! As far as I know, his sidemen are complete unknowns, and they just sound great with him. He seems to make everyone around him sound fabulous. I hope Haynes makes many many more records. I find that I look forward to his recordings with more anticipation than to almost anyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bol Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks for mentioning this, Bol--I didn't realize Haynes had a new one out. Yes, I did not know about this until a couple of weeks ago. That's when I got Haynes's "Fountain of Youth", and I liked it so much that I did some web searches. In the new CD, there is also a blurb about an upcoming box set that Dreyfus seems to be preparing. Very good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaleel Shaw is certainly not a complete unknown - he is a regular in the current version of the Mingus Big Band, playing alongside Seamus Blake, Craig Handy, Ronnie Cuber, and Abraham Burton in the sax section. He also released a record two years ago on Fresh Sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wheel Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Little known fact: Both of the pianists on Haynes's last two records held down the piano chair in my high school combo a few years before I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) I downloaded this from the iTunes Music Store yesterday, burned a copy and played it while driving into LA today. All I can say is "Wow!!. Thanks for the recommendation." Edited August 24, 2006 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
