  • Hey guys! I'm not a native language speaker.....someone can tell me what does he mean when in the beginning of the video he says: "I play rhythm....I play rhythm a ning"

    thank you very much!!!

  • @micchemic He says "Rhythm-A-Ning", which is the name of a Thelonious Monk tune! Roy recorded this with Thelonious and Johnny Griffin at the Five Spot in 1958.

  • does anyone know the song from 6:45-7:40??

  • That's a Roy Haynes vamp that he often attaches to "My Heart Belongs To Daddy"
