Ken Dryden Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 The last I heard he was having short term memory issues, though I believe he was still playing as of his late eighties. Here is the link to the birthday tribute that I broadcast earlier today: https://archive.org/details/timeless-jazz-3-13-2022-roy-haynes-97th-birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Who does not have short time memory issues in his senior years ? So, does he still play ? I saw him live maybe around 2005, I think he was 80, looked much younger. The band was titled "Fountain of Youth". Nothing special, but nice....I mean the band. Roy Haynes himself is one of my favourite drummers, but with that 2005 band he was not so much on spotlight, I think it was mostly medium tempo standards....

Pim Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Happy birthday mr. Haynes. So much respect for you and all your contributions to the music. I wish I'd been able to tell people I played with both Charlie Parker and John Coltrane.... As long as it's in good health: many years for you to come please!
