Roy Haynes to perform 3 nights at Ronnies!

Roy Haynes

will perform at

Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club

between 30 October - 1 November.

Fans of jazz´s rhythm men have been well served by Ronnie´s of late, with the great Louis Hayes´ appearances at the club in August going down a well-deserved storm. Following on from Hayes in October is the spectacular Roy Haynes, who has backed some of the most influential players in the history of the music; Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Gary Burton, Miles Davis, Pat Metheney, Bud Powell, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Sarah Vaughan and Stan Getz have all had their tunes driven by Haynes´ pulsing beat, and he was a regular player with Charlie Parker and Lester Young in the 1940s and ‘50s.

The man´s sixty year recording and performing career has informed him with a truly awesome sense of timing, swing and rhythm and he is rightly held in great regard as one of the most innovative drummers around. Despite his advancing years, his playing never feels anything but fresh and new, constantly searching for new ideas and modes of expression.

Support comes from Mike Janisch and tickets cost from £20. For more info visit
