HORO 29 - ROY HAYNES - HLL 101-29

Roy Owen Haynes, born on March 13, 1925, in Roxbury, MA, is one of the few jazz musicians alive today whose roots touch the origins of jazz itself.
Of West Indian descent, his first experience in music was observing his father, a church organist. When Roy plays his drums, sixty years of experience informs every authoritative stroke.
A working musician since 1942, Haynes' unrelenting swing and sound of surprise has graced the bands of a who's-who list of jazz innovators across a wide spectrum of improvisation.

JAZZ A CONFRONTO 26 - STAFFORD JAMES - HLL 101-26

Stafford James has been in the front lines for 30 years. He is thankful for the early encouragement he received from artists like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and his mentor, bass giant Charles Mingus.

“I will always appreciate the way he approached me as a young musician trying to get out of the bucket and find my own direction”.

He recorded with the legendary Albert Ayler (“Music is the Healing Force”), with Dexter Gordon (including “Home Coming”), with the fusion oriented guitarist John Scofield, with Jimmy Heath, Pharoah Sanders and nine albums with the late trumpeter Woody Shaw. 

The last 15 years have been solely dedicated to his ensemble, The Stafford James Project.
