But I gotta say, the Trane Quartet with Elvin is a special moment in the history of mankind. It doesn't take anything away from Roy, but thank Deity that the classic Quartet happened.
I listen to A Love Supreme at least once a week. I hear something new every time. That was just an inspired musical moment by four amazing musicians.
Roy Haynes and Kenny Garrett -- pow! -- great music.
Chick Corea's "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs" is probably the one Corea CD that's always within reach of my CD player. I had the album and then tape cassette before that. It was my primer to playing the style, although I've never been able to capture that woody ping of his cymbal. Sweeeet stuff.
A friend of mine in Boston told me Roy's grandson is the next great thing in jazz drums.
