Roy Owen Haynes (born Boston , Massachusetts , March 13 , 1925 ) is one of the most recorded Drummer s in Jazz . He has had a long career and played in a wide range of styles ranging from Swing to Avant-garde Jazz . Often overlooked because his varied career as a sideman is difficult to canonize, Haynes is one of the most original musicians in jazz history. He has a rare ability to combine a highly expressive, personal style ("Snap Crackle" was a nickname given him in the 1950's) with a deep engagement in his bandmates, listening and supporting and lifting the whole band rhythmically and sonically. He can do this whether gracefully backing a singer like Sarah Vaughan or in explosive interactions with the likes of John Coltrane , Chick Corea , Eric Dolphy , or Andrew Hill . He began his full time professional career in 1945 . From 1947 to 1949 he worked with Lester Young , and from 1949 to 1952 was a member of the Charlie Parker Quintet. He also recorded at the time with Bud Powell , Wardell Gray , and Stan Getz . From 1953 to 1958 he toured with Sarah Vaughan . Haynes has recorded or performed with John Coltrane , Chick Corea , Pat Metheny , Christian McBride , Jackie McLean , Gerry Mulligan , Henry Grimes , Gary Burton , Miles Davis , Art Pepper , Horace Tapscott , Dizzy Gillespie , Thelonious Monk and many others. He has also led his own groups, some performing under the name Hip Ensemble. His most recent recordings as a leader are ''The Roy Haynes Trio'' and ''Fountain of Youth''. He was inducted into the Down Beat Magazine Hall of Fame in 2004. His son Graham is a Cornetist and his grandson, Marcus Gilmore, is an up-and-coming jazz drummer. EXTERNAL LINKS
