HAYNES-ISM - Roy Haynes Vocabulary

Publisher: Hudson Music
Study and absorb ONE legendary segment of Roy Haynes vocabulary
Artist: Roy Haynes
Author: Tim Carman

With Tim Carman's Haynes-ISM, by utilizing one segment of vocabulary – you read that right, only ONE! – played often by Roy Haynes, we will create hundreds of exercises.
This one piece of vocabulary, which we'll refer to as our ISM, will be turned inside out and upside down, run through different time signatures, phrase lengths, and song forms, with the end result being the complete absorption of a fantastic piece of vocabulary played by Haynes and more importantly, the freedom to create your own interpretations of this ISM.

This book will explore three ways Haynes develops and alters the phrase:
• Permutation – shifting the starting location of the pattern within the measure
• Orchestration – moving the pattern to different drums or sound sources
• Subdivision Variation – “stretching” or “shrinking” the pattern by utilizing various subdivisions like triplets, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes.

Additionally, we will utilize the ISM in 12-, 16-, and 32-bar song forms, and in various time signatures!

Finally, the book contains more than 10 transcriptions of Haynes’ soloing and comping, as well as a list of source material to check out! Among the songs analyzed and transcribed are “Down Home” (Roy Haynes Trio, Just Us), “Louise” (Steve Lacy, The Straight Horn of Steve Lacy), “Have You Met Miss Jones” (McCoy Tyner, Reaching Fourth), “Just One of Those Things” (Charlie Parker, The Cole Porter Songbook), “Scoochie” and “Bad News Blues” (Booker Ervin and Roy Haynes, Cracklin’), “Will You Still Be Mine” and “Well You Needn’t” (Kenny Burrell, A Night At The Village Vanguard), and more!
