Phil Haynes (born 1961 in Hillsboro, Oregon) is an American jazz percussionist and composer.[1][2]

Biography

Starting in 1983, Haynes has featured on more than 50 LP and CD releases. His debut, The Paul Smoker Trio's QB with Anthony Braxton, was named the No. 1 recording of 1985 by critic Kevin Whitehead.

The international media has compared his drumming to Jack DeJohnette, Roy Haynes, and Elvin Jones, and his compositions to Duke Ellington, Charles Ives, Charles Mingus, and the Art Ensemble of Chicago.

In addition to three albums for Enja Records by the composer's collective, Joint Venture, Haynes's recordings as a leader include Continuum (violinist Mark Feldman's jazz debut); the ensemble 4 Horns & What?; his recording of jazz standards, A Couch in Brooklyn (featuring pianist Micu Narununsky and bassist Drew Gress); The Hammond Insurgency with B-3 organ player Jeff Palmer; Free Country's trilogy of Americana with cellist/vocalist Hank Roberts, as well as his solo drum-set recording entitled Sanctuary.

Haynes's touring ensembles include: "romantic folk Americana" string band, Free Country, featuring vocalist/cellist Hank Roberts; "tough tenor trio", No Fast Food, with David Liebman and Drew Gress; "power jazz organ trio", The Hammond Brothers, as well as the collective "classic piano trio", Day Dream, with Steve Rudolph and Gress.
