Roy Haynes may be 81 years old, but in body and spirit he is very much a young man. Ask any jazz lover: Haynes’s drumming is as dynamic and challenging today as it has ever been. Not for nothing did the Jazz Journalists Association choose to award Haynes its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in June 2006. This comes on top of countless honors and accolades, including induction into the Downbeat magazine Hall of Fame in 2004, as well as Grammy nominations for Haynes’s Dreyfus albums Fountain of Youth (2004) and Birds of a Feather (2001).

Now Haynes and the Fountain of Youth quartet are back with a new release, titled Whereas. Featuring Jaleel Shaw on alto sax, Robert Rodriguez on piano and John Sullivan on bass, the album was recorded at the Artists’ Quarter in St. Paul, Minnesota over the course of three nights in January 2006. Chris Coleman, Mayor of St. Paul, MN, officially declared the weekend of January 20 – 22 the “Roy Haynes Weekend”. The recording documents the no-holds-barred interaction of one of the last true “apprenticeship” bands in jazz. In the grand tradition of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Haynes’s quartet is a proving ground for young, up-and-coming musicians with the talent and fortitude to go head-to-head, night after night, with this unstoppable octogenarian.

On Whereas, Haynes and his cohorts display an extraordinary cohesion and improvisational fire as they draw upon some of the leader’s best-loved repertoire, including Chick Corea’s “Like This,” Pat Metheny’s “James” and Thelonious Monk’s “Bemsha Swing,” as well as barnstorming post-bop classics such as John Coltrane’s “Mr. P. C.”, Joe Henderson’s “Inner Urge” and Charlie Parker’s “Segment.” The harmonic sophistication and melodic clarity of Rodriguez’s piano, the linear propulsion and drive of Shaw’s horn, the depth and solidity of Sullivan’s bass, the wholly unpredictable nuances of Haynes’s drumming—all add up to a thrilling and memorable hour-plus, highlighting the Fountain of Youth quartet at its revelatory best.
