You could hear why Roy Haynes' nickname was Snap Crackle in the rapid-fire snare drum and innovative rhythms that helped change the direction of jazz improvisation. Many credit Haynes with helping transition jazz drumming from the sedate, predictable techniques of the big band era to the more free-flowing rhythms of bebop and beyond.
Haynes played with just about all of the greats, from Lester Young to Chick Corea, and generations of younger players he inspired with his energy, creativity, and mastery. Eric Westervelt, NPR News.
