help Ballads & Blues – Roy Haynes FAQ
What is the actual Roy Haynes album often associated with 1962 and 1963?
Out of the Afternoon was released in 1962 and features Haynes with Roland Kirk, Tommy Flanagan and Henry Grimes. Cymbalism followed in 1963 and is a more reliable title for a Haynes-led session from that period.
Was Roy Haynes the pianist on Ballads & Blues?
No, Roy Haynes was a drummer, not a pianist. The catalog description's reference to a pianist's approach is therefore inconsistent with Haynes's documented role as bandleader and drummer.
What should I check if I find a Roy Haynes record labeled Ballads & Blues?
Compare the label and catalog number with Haynes's documented discography because Ballads & Blues is not a securely identified 1963 Haynes release. The title may refer to another artist or to a compilation.
