Snap Crackle: A Tribute to Roy Haynes

Haynes began his professional career… MoreRoy Haynes, who passed away in November of 2024 at the age of 99, was one of the most influential drummers of the modern era. Haynes began his professional career while still in his teens in the early 1940s. He played with Luis Russell, Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Pat Metheny and countless others, also leading his own groups over several decades. Amazingly, he was still active, playing at a very high level, until the third decade of the 21st Century. His fellow musicians often referred to him as “Snap Crackle,” likely a reference to his unique tuning and staccato touch on his snare drum. We take this opportunity to acknowledge his influence and to pay tribute to his amazing career. Less

Kirk acknowledges that The Beatles swept the popular market during their tenure as a band, leaving little space for other artists, especially during the Civil Rights Movement. Recording and selling covers of Beatles tunes is one way in which artists have capitalized off The Beatles' success. This show will illuminate bright moments in which jazz artists have truly reimagined Beatles classics, leaving their unique, distinctive mark on them. This show will assemble selections that will remind listeners of the reasons why they love their favorite Beatles tunes, while also fostering new appreciations. Less
