I’m back here in 2023, and was thinking of the Great Roy Haynes. He has so be thee oldest living jazz legend-icon-national treasure. I feel like he’s not playing anymore and in the care of his close knitted family. The Most High really blessed Mr. Haynes to live a very long, healthy and phenomenal life!❤🙏🏽
Wow I was at his night show at Blue Note this month. 94 yr old. and he was as great as ever! I even did a selfie with him ... my greatest souvenir from my NYC journey ...
"Steps/What was" will always be the tune that ripped goosebumps into my musical soul. Haynes' masterful performance on "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs" is...well, a masterful performance.
The finest version of "My Favorite Things, " featured him on drums at the 1963 Newport Jazz Festival in the John Coltrane Quartet live: once I heard that, I became an instant fan of jazz, especially from bop on forward for life: now, I'm 68, and still cooking with it... Rob
Listen to RH on Andrew Hill’s “Smokestack”, on Monk’s two Five Spot live albums, and on his own “Out of the Afternoon”. Some of the best drumming ever.

Wow, He looks 73. In the top ten jazz drummers to have ever played! Love it!
My Father's best friend. Howard Kline from Nj. He and Roy were very tight. I seen this growing up.
There are no words to express how much I love, admire and appreciate you, Roy Owen Haynes! You are inimitable!

He looked very fresh here. May he rest in peace.

KING!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY HERO MAN...AND ETERNAL INSPIRATION
A real treasure he is! The hippest coolest cat around and always will be! he's so musical and free spirited behind the drums. I just love it.
I saw him on Letterman and age means nothing as he was amazing. Lots of little flourishes and each time coming back in on time.
I was there. Hope Roy is staying strong and healthy!
A LEGEND!!!
