Listening to Roy Haynes 'Out of the Afternoon' for the first time in awhile, incredible album.

Let's see, Roy Haynes, Archie Shepp, Charles Mingus, not a band really. On the Ed Sullivan Show too! He could have been bigger than the Beatles.

... not a bad band, that is.

Roy Haynes, 98 and still alive! He was repeatedly mentioned in a book I was reading and everyone else referenced playing with him are all long gone.

Pretty sure he's also the last living person to have played with Charlie Parker.

yeah he must be the last Bird player standing, he is a year younger than Max Roach would have been.

made my day, thank you so much

wow!

Such a cool presentation of breaking it down for a mass audience, but also throwing down

wow that's wild for Ed Sullivan! great great stuff
