Description

A 1962 set from the Roy Haynes Quartet which, at the time, consisted of Haynes, Henry Grimes on bass, Tommy Flanagan on piano and Roland Kirk on saxes, manzello, stritch and flutes. The album is a delightful mix of technique in arrangement and performance, with all of the musicians delivering terrific work Haynes drumming is absolutely wonderful here, lightly dancing around the other instruments. Flanagans piano playing is equally light and delicate, and Grimes bass work is outstanding. Theres not much that can be said about Kirks sax and flute work that hasnt already been said a hundred times.
