Musician (4/94, p.88) - "...Without a moment's hesitation I'd carve [Roy Haynes'] name on the Mount Rushmore of modern rhythmatists...From the snapcracklepop of his snare and the sputtering complexity of his flat ride pulse to his incredibly syncopated bass drum accents and those neck-breaking counterpunches, Haynes is both a great dancer and a devestating boxer--the Sugar Ray Robinson of the drums...."
Recorded at Davout Studios, Paris, France on July 25 & 26, 1992. Includes liner notes By Michael Zwerin and Roy Haynes. |
