. And just like he does every year, he’ll be celebrating his birthday by taking the stage: From March 19th through the 22nd, he’ll be at New York’s Blue Note, his home away from home, no doubt sounding as modern as ever.
recalling a performance at Montreal’s Drumfest with many fellow drummers in attendance, Haynes spoke about his determination to always remain one step ahead. “Now, if I played rudiments and all that shit, they’re hip to that shit,” he said. “So I come up with the Roy Haynes shit, man, and it blew all of their minds.”
