THE ROY HAYNES QUARTET - OUT OF THE AFTERNOON (180g IMPORT LP)

The Roy Haynes Quartet Out Of The Afternoon On 180g Import Vinyl From Speakers Corner! 

Almost more than any other drummer, Roy Haynes defined the rhythm of modern drumming and it is no wonder that he has more than 30 LPs to his name.

The present recording, which his Quartet made together with the blind multi-instrumentalist Roland Kirk in Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in 1962, is certainly one of his very best. The seven numbers not only offer astounding moments of 'drum talk', and of syncopation carried out with absolute precision, they also offer the main soloist Roland Kirk the opportunity to display his amazing technique of simultaneous performance on some unusual instruments, in "Moon Ray" for example, or his use of various types of flute in "Snap Crackle" and his wealth of ideas in the ballads "If I Should Lose You." Perfect recording technique, brilliant arrangements of standard numbers, highly original evergreens, all played by true giants of their respective instruments.
