Roy Haynes’ career and contribution to music was one of historic length and depth. His style was so foundational that within a decade of his first forays into professional jazz drumming he earned him a lifelong nickname ‘Snap Crackle’. It is rare for a musician to have so much of a hand in a genre’s history, outside fast-moving innovators in niche sub-genre spaces. So, when someone like Roy Haynes comes along, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. Roy not only influenced the development of jazz but did so over eight decades by developing and innovating modern drum technique and philosophy.
