The Complete American Recordings
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Phil Haynes is a legendary jazz drummer and composer who has been central to New York's free jazz and creative music scene since the 1980s. This three-disc set compiles his essential American recordings, capturing decades of innovation in free jazz and post-bop contexts. The ensemble's name itself—4 Horns and What?—suggests an exploratory spirit, with Haynes leading conversations between saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and rhythm section through angular passages and moments of intense collective improvisation. The music ranges from structured compositions to open-ended explorations, always grounded in Haynes' intuitive, swinging drumming. This is essential documentation of New York creative jazz, direct and uncompromising. For anyone serious about free jazz, this collection is indispensable.
