Remembering Roy Haynes on His Birthday.
Roy Haynes – Hip Ensemble
Hip Ensemble is an album recorded by American drummer Roy Haynes in 1971 for the Mainstream label.
Personnel: Roy Haynes – drums, timpani Marvin Peterson – trumpet George Adams – tenor saxophone, flute Carl Schroeder – piano Teruo Nakamura – bass Mervin Bronson – Fender bass Lawrence Killian – congas Elwood Johnson – bongos, tambourine
Critical reception:
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and its review by Ron Wynn states “Returning to the leader’s chair after a seven-year absence, drummer Roy Haynes signed with Boplicity and released Hip Ensemble in 1971. Named after the group Haynes led at the time - a group that featured George Adams on saxophone and flute, Marvin Peterson on trumpet, Mervin Bronson on bass, and Carl Schroeder on keys - the title Hip Ensemble somewhat gives away the game: this is now music, perched halfway between the out futurism that was Haynes’ specialty while playing with Archie Shepp, Jackie McLean, Chick Corea, and Jack DeJohnette and the fusion that was creeping into the most adventurous aspects of ’70s jazz. “.
