la dernière fois dans les rues de Paris France


 

Roy Owen Haynes (March 13, 1925 – November 12, 2024) was an American jazz drummer.[1] He was among the most recorded drummers in jazz. In a career lasting over 80 years, he played swing, bebop, jazz fusion, and avant-garde jazz. He is considered to have been a pioneer of jazz drumming. « Snap Crackle » was a nickname given to him in the 1950s.[2]

Haynes led bands such as the Hip Ensemble.[1] His albums Fountain of Youth[3] and Whereas[4] were nominated for a Grammy Award.[5][6] He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1999.[7] His son Graham Haynes is a cornetist; another son Craig Holiday Haynes and grandson Marcus Gilmore are both drummers.[8]

Career

[edit]

Haynes was born in the Roxbury section of Boston, Massachusetts, to Gustavas and Edna Haynes, immigrants from Barbados.[9] His younger brother, Michael E. Haynes, became an important leader in the African American community of Massachusetts, working with Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement, representing Roxbury in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and for forty years serving as pastor of the Twelfth Baptist Church, where King had been a member while he pursued his doctoral degree at Boston University.[10]

Haynes made his professional debut in 1942 in his native Boston, and began his full-time professional career in 1945.[11] From 1947 to 1949 he worked with saxophonist Lester Young,[9] and from 1949 to 1952 was a member of saxophonist Charlie Parker‘s quintet.[9] He also recorded at the time with pianist Bud Powell and saxophonists Wardell Gray and Stan Getz.[9] From 1953 to 1958, he toured with singer Sarah Vaughan and recorded with her.[12][13]

A tribute song was recorded by Jim Keltner and Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones,[14] and he appeared on stage with the Allman Brothers Band in 2006[15] and Page McConnell of Phish in 2008.[16] « Age seems to have just passed him by, » Watts observed. « He’s eighty-three and in 2006 he was voted Best Contemporary Jazz Drummer [in Modern Drummer magazine‘s readers’ poll]. He’s amazing. »[17]

In 2008, Haynes lent his voice to the open-world video game Grand Theft Auto IV, to voice himself as the DJ for the fictional classic jazz radio station, Jazz Nation Radio 108.5.[18]

Personal life and death

[edit]

Haynes was known to celebrate his birthdays on stage, in later years at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City.[19] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, his 95th birthday celebration was cancelled.[20]

On November 12, 2024, Haynes died at the age of 99 in Nassau County, New York, on the South Shore of Long Island.[21][22]
