Chasing the Masters
Phil Haynes
Independently Published
https://www.chasingthemasters.com
9798860200883, $35.00, HC, 310pp
https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Masters-Modern-Drumming-Artist/dp/B0CJXGFZ12
Synopsis: Phil Haynes' 85+ albums on American and European record labels include collaborations with jazz greats Dave Liebman, Anthony Braxton, Paul Smoker, and Drew Gress. Critics have compared his drumming to masters Jack DeJohnette, Roy Haynes, and Elvin Jones, and his diverse compositions to Ellington, Ives, and Mingus.
With the publication of "Chasing the Masters: First Takes of a Modern Drumming Artist", Haynes offers up his reflections on a half-century of musical life. Included in this memoir are stories from onstage and backstage, letters, lyrics, poetry, reviews, thought-provoking quotes, illuminating audio tracks, and above all insights on what it means to live a life in the contemporary jazz tradition.
Of special note is the inclusion of QR codes for hours of companion listening.
Critique: This large format ( 8.25 x 0.89 x 11 inches, 1.91 pounds) hardcover edition of "Chasing the Masters: First Takes of a Modern Drumming Artist" by jazz musician and composer Phil Haynes will prove to be of immense interest to fans of Jazz music history and an singularly ideal and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, and college/university library Jazz History/Memoir collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.
Editorial Note: Phil Haynes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Haynes) is an American jazz percussionist and composer based in New York City for the past 25 years.
