Phillip "Phil" Allan Haynes (born June 15, 1961 in Hillsboro , Oregon ) is an American drummer, composer and band leader.
Live and act
During his studies at Coe College in 1980 he began his decades-long collaboration with trumpeter Paul Smoker and bassist Ron Rohovit, initially in a line-up called SRH (as an abbreviation for the names Smoker, Rohovit, Haynes), later known as the Paul Smoker trio . The band's debut album ( QB , with guest star Anthony Braxton ) was named the 1985 Jazz Album of the Year by Coda Magazine.
In 1983 Phil Haynes moved to New York , where he quickly made a name for himself as a sought-after drummer, but especially as an innovative composer and band leader. His initiative comes from such comparatively conventional formations as Continuum (a quartet with violinist Mark Feldman , pianist David Kikoski and bassist Drew Gress ) or Joint Venture (with Paul Smoker, Drew Gress and saxophonist Ellery Eskelin ), but also like that unusual bands like 4 Horns or What? and 4 Horn Lore , an innovation with four wind instruments and percussion. In 1990 he played in Tom Varner's band with Ned Rothenberg and Lindsey Horner ; In the late 1990s, Haynes worked in the trio of Gebhard Ullmann and Andreas Willers, as well as with Herb Robertson , with Tom Varner and with Vinny Golia .
Phil Haynes was and is one of the focal points of the New York jazz scene. His Corner Store Syndicate is a gathering place for band leaders and improvisers, from which he founded the ten-member band CCSSBB (Collective Corner Store Syndicate Big Band). His name is also closely linked to the Knitting Factory , where he was responsible for the Annual Festival of New Jazz from 1989 to 1992 .
His fondness for unusual line-ups and unusual musical selections is evident not least in two projects: for Phil Haynes & The Hammond Insurgency he set up a trio with his old companion Paul Smoker on trumpet and Jeff Palmer on Hammond B-3 , and for that He brought together guitarist Jim Yanda , cellist Hank Roberts and bassist Drew Gress on the album Free Country, in which he processed American music from the period before 1900 .
