| | Jazzed About Roy Haynes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Though Haynes has played with legends, and their music was often revolutionary, he remains largely unknown outside the jazz community. |
 | | Haynes pointed to a wall-size poster of Parker (who died in 1955 at age 34) behind the stage and said, “You know, if Charlie Parker were to walk into this club right now and see me here playing with these guys who are 50 years younger than me, I think he’d smile. |
 | | Haynes, who has a shaved head and is not tall, has the lean, muscular body of a flyweight boxer and looks decades younger than he is. When he walks, he springs forward on his toes, and standing or sitting, he sways, shifts and squirms, restless as a kid. |
