Roy! Few drummers — or musicians, period — have ever sounded more energized by and engrossed in the conversational flow at the heart of jazz. A rush of fresh ideas in every performance. The apex of alertness, stylishness and sheer flair youtube.com/watch?app=desk…

Drummer Roy Haynes, an innovator from day one, who sounded like the future into his '80s, has died at 99. I don't know what to say other than than it was a gift to share the planet with him. Here he is three months after I was born. youtube.com/watch?app=desk…
This Friday marks the return of the original lineup of PainKiller, 30 years after their prior studio release. It was an honor to speak with John Zorn, Bill Laswell and Mick Harris about the trio’s history and their surprising, inspiring new chapter: nytimes.com/2024/11/11/art…
