Roy Haynes

Roy-alty, Haynes' new album of classics and underheard repertory, is anchored by the Fountain of Youth band. It's a quartet — Jaleel Shaw, Martin Bejerano, David Wong plus Haynes — and it's joined frequently by other guests, including the stellar trumpeter Roy Hargrove. Haynes' drums are high in the mix; you can really hear his frequent interjections of snare chatter, tom punches or cymbal resonance. He's long been known by the nickname "Snap Crackle," and you can hear why.
