In the 1950s, he was given the nickname "Snap Crackle" for his distinctive snare drum sound and musical vocabulary. He is among the most recorded drummers in jazz. In a career spanning more than eight decades, he played swing, bebop, jazz fusion and avant-garde jazz. He is considered to be a pioneer of jazz drumming.

Haynes led bands, including the Hip Ensemble. His albums Fountain of Youth and Whereas were nominated for a Grammy Award.[1][2] He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1999.[3]

Haynes was born in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, to Gustavas and Edna Haynes, immigrants from Barbados.[4] His younger brother, Michael E. Haynes, became an important leader in the African American community in Massachusetts, working with Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement, representing Roxbury in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and for forty years serving as pastor of the Twelfth Baptist Church. King had been a member at the church while he pursued his doctoral degree at Boston University.[5]

Haynes made his professional debut in 1942 in Boston and began his full-time professional career in 1945.[6] From 1947 to 1949 he worked with saxophonist Lester Young,[4] and from 1949 to 1952 was a member of saxophonist Charlie Parker's quintet.[4] He also recorded at the time with pianist Bud Powell and saxophonists Wardell Gray and Stan Getz.[4] From 1953 to 1958, he toured with singer Sarah Vaughan and recorded with her.[7][8] In the 1950s he was given the nickname "Snap Crackle".[9] In the 1960s, he was a member of the John Coltrane Quartet, often working as a sub for drummer Elvin Jones. In 1990, he co-led the album Question and Answer with Pat Metheny.[10] Haynes led bands including the Hip Ensemble.[11]

A tribute song was recorded by Jim Keltner and Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones,[12] and he appeared on stage with the Allman Brothers Band in 2006[13] and Page McConnell of Phish in 2008.[14] "Age seems to have just passed him by," Watts observed. "He's eighty-three and in 2006 he was voted Best Contemporary Jazz Drummer [in Modern Drummer magazine's readers' poll]. He's amazing."[15]

Personal life

His son Graham Haynes is a cornetist; another son Craig Holiday Haynes and grandson Marcus Gilmore are both drummers.[18]

Haynes was known to celebrate his birthdays on stage and in later years at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City.[19] His 95th birthday celebration in 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[20]

On November 12, 2024, following a short illness, Haynes died at age 99 in Nassau County, New York, on the South Shore of Long Island.[17][21][22][23]
