R.I.P. Roy Haynes

The legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes passed away yesterday at age 99. 99! The guy played with seemingly everyone - Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk - the list goes on.

Here's his performance from the Madison Jazz Festival back in 2008 at the Union Theater when Haynes was a youthful 83.
