Roy Haynes Quartet
Friday, April 25, 7:30 p.m.
Lawlor Events Center
Called “an eight ball in the side pocket” by Thelonious Monk
and “the father of modern drumming” by Pat Metheny, legendary
drummer Roy Haynes has been the pulse of jazz percussion for more than 50
years, altering the very fabric and direction of jazz improvisation with
his mercurial, intelligent, joyous drumming. Joined by Jaleel Shaw on saxophone,
John Sullivan on bass, and Martin Bejerano on piano in the Roy Haynes Quartet,
the influential and innovative drummer continues to forge new paths in jazz
with his “hard swing” style.
Over the years, Haynes has played
with the likes of Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Thelonious
Monk, Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell,
Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny and many others, lending
his unflagging energy and marvelous invention to literally thousands of
performances and recordings. With the Roy Haynes Quartet, the inimitable
performer continues to free the borders of jazz and to infuse its lifeblood.
