The associations that mark Roy's career provide a nearly complete history of modern jazz - he has been the drummer of choice for Lester Young, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Stan Getz, John Coltrane, Chick Corea and Pat Metheny. His distinctive style and sound have been deeply influential on subsequent generations of drummers - he manages to be intelligently insistent and provocative in accompaniment and his own solo work is brilliantly conceived to combine a feeling of continual suspense with absolute relaxation. Come and hear a master at work.
