Roy Haynes is a fascinating musician in that he straddles the swing and bebop genres, yet remaining totally sui generis. This candid interview with Roy follows his career from swing big bands to the small groups of Charlie Parker and beyond, to his work with John Coltrane. He also discusses his latterday tribute to Parker, Birds of a Feather, with Kenny Garrett, Roy Hargrove, Dave Kikowski and Dave Holland.
After Gillespie's return fron California, the big band he formed had a rhythm section of John Lewis, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson and Kenny Clarke. This chapter explores how that quartet became the MJQ and developed into one of the most influential jazz groups of the 1950s to the 1980s. Shipton discusses basses with Percy Heath and the difficulties of playing both piano and vibes with Milt Jackson.
