Lou Donaldson, Roy Haynes RIP + New Releases

Click the play button to listen

This week, we are celebrating two legends of the music who both recently passed. The soulful, bluesy saxophonist Mr. Lou Donaldson left us on November 9th at the age of 98, and one of the most recorded drummers in jazz history, Mr. Roy Haynes who passed on November 12 at the age of 99. Both of these gentlemen's careers began in the post war bebop era and continued for decades. We'll start out with two sets of music in remembrance of Donaldson. We will continue with a more extensive set with a variety of recordings featuring Haynes, whose drumming can be found on dozens of records in my home. New releases will follow form Kathrine Windfeld, Eri Yamamoto, Tyshawn Sorey, Grammy nominated Donald Vega and Dafnis Prieto Si O Si Quaret.
