roy haynes

[yourfamilydocter]

when you listen to a song like this with all these amazing jazz musicians, how can anyone go back to the garbage the rest of america is pumping dubbed as "music"

[Streamline09]

Jazz masters. Long live Roy Haynes!!

[dizzzzler]

Man, Roy's beat kills me! I could listen to him play just the hi hats for ever.

[darthjoey13]

What is the name of this piece?

[dizzzzler]

@darthjoey13 Mode for Joe

[nickdrums100]

roy haynes indeed

[rallaei]

Roy is so freakin' hip!!!

[crazy8sdrums]

Amazing performance!!! :)

[mshornick]

Prob Larry Ridley bass, Cedar Walton piano

[mogyliptus]

I think Jazz will experience a huge renaissance in the not too distant future, the onset of dance music in the 90's had a detrimental affect, but there seems to be a big move back to real music again. This generic computer driven/producer governed scene will die off for the better of music, we could once again have the quality and inspiration of the 50's,60's and 70's. Bring it on!!!!

[shizohal]

@mogyliptus It's a great thing to hope for, but I don't know. It's a complex form, and people today are used to music that's straightforward. I would love for it to happen, but there has to be some sort of bridge. Maybe new jazz artists can find fans on youtube. I know I've run across some really amazing stuff that I never would have known to look for. I already knew what jazz was though. You're right though, the traditional models of record labels and producer-driven music are on the way out.

[TopHeaviness]

Please don't hate me, but what is the pianist's name. So sweet man. Definitely jivin' to it.

[Thurstonsfunfair]

I now fully understand why Charlie Watts is in ore of this guy,fab sound!

[blackrocknutt]

well at least 44, 529 of us still do-- out of how many you tube accounts?--at least 10 million based of Justin Bieber numbers. at this rate we're winning back the masses an average of about 25 viewers per year. 

[wendydgrantham]

I love this. What is the name of this song?

[dizzzzler]

@wendydgrantham "Mode For Joe" written by Cedar Walton

[foshoitscam]

what's the tune? smokin stuff.

[Lip619]

Roy is amazing, I posted a video of him at a small concert, Paris, Watch it and enjoy.

[dizzzzler]

Thanks for posting this video.  Man, Roy is so killing!!!

[romamruin]

Jazz is truth - what can be done - must be done .

[mxeria]

anyone knows who is the bass player?

[salvadorsimp]

@mxeria Larry Ridley

[IrishAmerican1234]

Jazz is more of a music that chills you out, when rock got more popular in the 50s and 60s the music got a little more jumpin, it was something to dance to. Than Rock took its run until the 80s when Pop / hip hop and rap took its turn and its still running strong today. Personally, I HATE rap/ pop/ hip hop theres not enough soal, its all fake, there voices, the music, there talent... but Rock and Jazz are still adored by millions, so just keep listening and let jazz fade away until its a memory.

[TheArbiter74]

Roy Haynes is the man!!!! It's a shame we lost Billy higgins back in 2003, or somewher around there. He was yet another monster in the world of Jazz drumming.  Billy Higgins played on more sessions and albums than any drummer of any genre, EVER!!! My personal favorite CD that has Roy Hayne's incredible drum work, is "Question and Answer"(1989), which was a Pat Metheny album and also featured Dave Holland on upright bass. One of the best jazz albums of all time.

[sil2417]

Еще по-молости жарил-бабушка не балуйся.

[ernestbecker]

@ cnowosad: I think that's Woody Shaw

[utubeissad]

@ernestbecker It's Jimmy Owens

[cnowosad]

Roy, Joe, Cedar Walton, Gary Burton, and who?  Anyone know?

[utubeissad]

@cnowosad It's Jimmy Owens

[cobra1010]

Super! Thank you for posting this!

[Vicfirth5bb]

so creative, so much balls

[Lifesucksdie123]

listening to roy haines is like hearing magic instead of seeing.

but after watching this, i still can't do what he does...

one of the greatest drummers of all time hands down.

thank u for this~

[coult001]

PLC: great

[Gausch]

I saw Roy Hanes this year in Plzeň/Czech Republic with his band on an Jazz Festival - it was great ^.^

[valentynesuite]

divine!!! joe henderson:sound and rhytmy genial!!! haynes out of space!!!!

[kirksiesz]

This is "Mode for Joe"

[shawn195]

What tune is this?? Haynes is the shi&!!! His nephew Marcus Gilmore is so lucky......

[dreadtodred]

Love roy haynes

[aggo2008]

Love it when Roy slips into some tasty funk in the middle of his solo. :P

[rayjr62]

LMAO- Yeah, I caught that. It was smooth.

[felipebojorquez]

Roy Haynes isn't dead.... What are you talking about eskimoposh?

[eskimoposh]

One of the most satisfying nights of my life was seeing Haynes play at Jazz City in Edmonton. Was probably '99 or so.....I can remember him jumping out of his seat about 9 times that night....just played so damn well that he had to get up and shake himself off....hahaha....if anyone 'felt' it, it was Roy Haynes. RIP.

[claptonfan1000000]

Roy's great! But I thought he was alive. At least I hope so!

He's a really beautiful drummer!

[eskimoposh]

Funny how when you write certain things you are thinking of different things while writing it......

In this case I was 'thinking' of Elvin Jones.....Roy is still alive and well(sorry if I scared ya!)....now how the HELL do I delete that stupid "RIP" comment???? hahahaha

[drlluc]

youre an idiot

[dreadtodred]

hes still Alive

[pr0gr0ck]

Makes John Bonham look like a little boy!!! this solo is top.

[drummerboy6800]

it's called mode for joe. (for joe henderson). the original is on joe's blue note album of the same name and later on eastern rebellion 2 (cedar walton's group).

[drummerguyman]

does anyone know the name of that tune, who wrote it, and what album its on. I know that's a lot but this song is awesome. as is roy haynes.

[elsegno]

Roy Haynes is one of the greatest.

[HeavyRaul]

yes

[ignaciomoran]

Joe Hen. What a sound and a genius! Roy kills!

[onalyd]

Great video, his solo sounds more rock influenced and heavy handed than other stuff I've heard him do

[jsmillie23]

This would be late 60's - post Tony Williams and electric rock. This is a direct predecessor to the fusion era. Also notice that he is sensitive not to over play the piano solo. Check out billy cobham with horace silver in the late 60's for more amazing playing like this.

[sparerib78]

Can anyone see where John Bonham got some inspiration?

[isaacleedrums]

Totally

[DefHarmony]

That was possibly the most musical drum solo I've ever heard. Roy Haynes is a bloody genius. I can't believe I've never really heard of him before now. Just after hearing this solo I know he will become one of my favorite drummers. Beautiful!

[curiousnomad]

Check out the recordings Roy did with John Coltrane. That is some deep stuff.

[twatocaster]

nice footage

they fucked up the head

but i guess thats ok in jazz.

[lionhorse]

No they didn't...they didn't do what you expected.

[racsopis]

jazz is the best music ever made.

[MrPongnoy]

@racsopis Amen!!!!

[Sic4ce]

The king of hip!

[IAMLAZLOWXX88]

What is the name of this tune?

[goaway25]

Mode for Joe

[IAMLAZLOWXX88]

Thanks! Jazz Rulezz!!

[bodzelli]

Yeah, you can definitely see where Steve gadd

 got his style from

[valentynesuite]

one of the few genius in drumming!!! Long life Roy!!!

[dubesdrums]

Tell me Steve Gadd didn't get some shit from Roy! Wow!

[hiimausername]

roy is dope in this. did this group ever record together?

[Luaptalpac]

don't think so...Joe Henderson with Cedar Walton on the piano did record this tune in his blue note album Mode for Joe, but not with Roy.

[paradiddle1]

porgie, I think your right. I myself have that problem, I find myself wanting to move on but I make myself sit and listen cause I know it will be worth the time. Also, it's hard to wrap my brain around it..it often seems like radomness..those are my problems anyway.

[spazerificdrummer]

dont think of it as randomness. he speaking with the drums. hes saying something. listen to that. see how he develops and expands on simple ideas. roys the man, i find beauty in his music.

[fakexs]

awesome solo, if the new generation of drummers can understand that

(sorry my bad english)

[grooveonchan]

beautiful... gripping!

[groovemanx]

question, why aren't more people into Jazz? This stuff kills. No one digs this stuff anymore. It's tragic.

[porgie66]

It certainly is tragic! I think it's due largely to the fact that many people just don't have the attention span now. They are so inundated with garbage music videos with their quick cut editing that they can't settle down and just listen to MUSIC! No lyrics or jive ass shaking, just music, played on musical instruments. Music of substance requires patience which we've lost in this age of immediate gratification. That's my 2 cents.

[feedkillchain]

The same way it might be hard for one who's grown up with European music and its rhythmic/harmonic rules to wrap his head around the polyrhythms of certain African music or the drone-harmony and expanded scale of India, one whose only knowledge of music is of 3-minute verse-chorus chord-based pop tunes might hear the extended improvisation of jazz as structureless nonsense and gratuitous flexing of instrumental chops. It's all a bit esoteric for the non-musician ANYWAY.

[hagu44]

Jazz will always stay. Those who have forgotten it have forgotten the definition of creative music. All they listen too is screaming aka noise

[HumpaLumpa2009]

Not true. There are more jazz schools than ever. Kids know where they can learn to be true musicians. Even if their primary goal is not jazz when they enter the school they end up loving it by studying it.

[TheArbiter74]

@groovemanx It induces thought and that's a threat to the AMERICAN establishment. Jazz was at it's most popular and had inflitrated Rock, Pop, Soul, etc., in the early seventies. Zeppelin's "No Quarter" was heavy metal-jazz, for instance. You also had rock performers like Frank Zappa and Steely Dan, which incorporated Jazz into their compositions. Another possible reason for the downfall of Jazz is that it requires deep thought and concentration on the listener.

[ZackPomerleau]

@TheArbiter74 I can't agree, it doesn't require deep thought unless you want to examine it in that way.

[sestoft]

@groovemanx I do 0.0

[gamnub405]

@groovemanx I ask myself that question almost every day. I feel your pain

[2120mattm]

@groovemanx

That's a pretty ignorant statement; plenty of people still 'dig' jazz

[groovemanx]

@2120mattm I wasn't trying to be ignorant, I'm just saying a lot of people especially young people(I'm 26) don't even have jazz on their radar. Ask a group of 10 random people what insturment Keith Jarret plays and see what response you get. I'm just saying it's tragic when videos like this get 41,000 views and fucking Miley Cyrus get 30 million. It just stucks man, that's all I saying. I wish more of the public would get into this stuff without having it watered down to become mainstream.

[2120mattm]

@groovemanx

Yeah, I hear ya. I have a feeling that music like this is going to make a comeback in the public eye. Seems like more young people are taking in interest in studying music and learning what it really takes to make good, honest music with feeling and substance.

[groovemanx]

@2120mattm Yeah man let's hope.

[Kobeownzu81]

@2120mattm but its not nearly as big as it used to be how many kids do you know that listen to jazz or even young adults for that matter

[2120mattm]

@Kobeownzu81 Well, the majority of the people at the studio I take lessons at are studying jazz. And at the restaurant where I cook we have a jazz band that plays every other week. They don't even have their drivers licenses yet. So from my personal experience, jazz is alive and well, but it may not the be the same for you.

[Kobeownzu81]

@2120mattm yea i know there are kids into jazz, but imo opinion thats mostly because in schools thats what you learn to play from a young age. other than that idk i just don't see much interest from people who aren't musicians

[2120mattm]

@Kobeownzu81

Yeah, that's the problem. Many people who aren't musicians just don't 'get it' when they listen to jazz. But there is always hope that the younger generation will bring it back into the light :-)

[genemz5]

@groovemanx Many do not dig it anymore because they have lost the ability to dig being alive. Jazz requires a developed soul to appreciate, like fine art.

[drumjunkie99]

@groovemanx because like picasso or shakespeare, one has to come to it. Unlike Lil Wayne or Pink, which is basically like candy.

[nadir6661]

@groovemanx some things are for few that deserve them.u cant give perls to pigs ;-)

[luisdediegopardo]

nice, thanks

[concertsinfrance]

Awsome video: I have seen Roy Haynes live around 10 times since 1986 and the video shows for me things I have seen him making during these last 20 years in concert. So we can see the evolution...
