You mean like he played when he was 4? Dude have you you ever listened to Now he Sings Now he Sobs. Roy Haynes is the hippest drummer ever, period including Tony Williams.

@@2dasimmons Roy (drum break) Haynes! Joe Malachi on piano and Crazy Joe Benjamin on bass. I heard that when I was a teenager in the '50's, scared the shit out of me.

These segments are like the jazz version of Craig Ferguson, Jon should get a segment on the show interviewing musicians

Jorgino perfect place for him

I absolutely adore the fact that the Late Show is letting this happen. Jazz is the original American art form, and Jon Batiste, bringing the legends out to the public like this is truly inspiring. Absolutely love it!

You can tell music runs through this man's veins, he can't keep himself from playing that kit. I hope I'm like that when I'm in my 90s. Thanks Jon for showing me this guy!

The man just can't stop tappin' around. That's what has kept him young. *_LOVE THESE SEGMENTS!_* Cool little nuggets of incredible American music history and culture.

Roy Haynes! I was at his 80th Birthday celebration gig in Boston ( Scullers ) and was blown away by his energy and passion. I LOVE Roy Haynes~~~!

Parker, Monk, Mingus, and Roy??!! WOW!!!

Oh man this is great. I had no idea he was still alive. He's a living jazz museum and to see him chat, play and even ponctuate his talking with drums is amazing. Thanks Jon and everyone at the show, you guys are awesome.

And he’s STILL going strong at 98

So many legends I never heard of! So many talented musician and so little time. Thanks for sharing. Great man. Hat off to Batiste.

Better late than never finding this gem of an interview. It was so short! Thanks to Mr. Batiste keeping music alive on national television, and...what can I say about Mr. Roy Haynes...living legend! Cheers!

What a fantastic segment. 8 minutes was way too short for a legend like Roy Haynes; I could watched a 30 minute video of those two cats just chatting and jamming. This needs to be a regular segment even if it is only uploaded to KZread. Great work to everyone that produced this.

Exactly! They need to do more stuff like this. Preferably on the actual show. Like the way Dick Cavett sat down with Oscar Peterson, and Oscar basically gave him a masterclass. I think it’s important, and it should be important till this day and into the future.

What a legend, he is on so many classic records ! Kudos to Jon Batiste for highlighting this man and his career while he is still with us. Here are some albums you might wanna check out if you want to hear more : Out Of The Afternoon We Three Monk in Action (by Thelonious Monk) The Blues and the Abstract Truth (by Oliver Nelson) Destination Out! (by Jackie McLean) Trio Music (by Chick Corea) ...and many more !

All great. I'd also recommend Andrew Hill's album 'Black Fire' from 1963 (w/Joe Henderson and Richard Davis).

Roy has such a magic, floating groove-I’ve been digging Roy since I was in high school (late 70s) and I STILL can’t figure out how he creates that rhythmic magic carpet and excitement-it’s magic. He’s a magician.

Wow! He's 92 and sharp as ever. Fantastic!

God I loved this so much. Just watching batiste do what he knows. I feel like this learning how to use him better, let him play to his strengths instead of trying to mold him into a standard sidekick. When they do it right, he can bring something totally original to the show. I'd love to see a segment like this make the air, but with a more comedic tone. It would be awesome having interview segments where instead of Colbert interviewing the guest, it's Jon in a pre taped segment.

Jon Batiste is someone I could just listen to talking about music all day

absolute giant of jazz. incredible contribution to music. .

These segments are crucial.

Please continue this! So few cats left of that generation! Roy Haynes is a legend

Wow.... He's 92yrs Young! Amazing.

They don't let Stephen get guests he likes, like scientists etc., since it's "not good for ratings", so they have Jon try it out here. Maybe it'll become a regular part of the show? I hope so. So much knowledge.

So amazing Mr. Batiste. Also, what an honor it must be to play with such a legend.

In days when Stephen takes a day off, Jon could easily fill that gap of airtime with this segment.

Wow, this was a really excellent segment, I hope they keep producing more! We don't get to hear Jon speak too much during the regular show, so it's great to give him a little space to talk about his craft.

Wow , that was awesome . This guy is a legend . Oral history ... you can't beat it . God bless you Roy Haynes . 🥁🥁🥁🎶🎶🎶

The last of the drummers from the golden era. What an amazing man and amazing drummer.

love that Jon is bringing jazz to a wider audience, a forgotten American artform, it's definitely still happenin today, but it's not mainstream

Two great ambassadors of Jazz! Such a joy to watch.

5 years after this interview, Roy is now 97 and still swinging ❤ God bless him and keep him!

loved their conversation so relaxed and real

Wow Roy Haynes is still alive and kicking. His music has been such an influence in my life. I can't even think of all the great works he has been a part of. Such a great video to show up in my feed. God bless Jon Batiste and Stephen Colbert's Late Show for having this happen.

That was magical. Thanks Jon. I think music can only improve when you get multi-generational bands. This seems to be a thing with jazz.

Jon amazing stuff. I wish these interviewers were longer. Could have listened to you two all day. Break them up into parts if people are worried about the length. Keep up the great work.

Mr Haynes is a living legend I love his playing the drums it’s inspiring.

I love Roy Haynes's drumming. Sweet video very glad I was lucky enough to come across it. 👍

Damn! Monk,Parker,Mingus And Haynes on same stage....just wow man. And now Batiste. 🙂✌❤

Please more of these! We need more Jon Batiste!

Love Jon and Roy. As a drummer, I've found Mr. Haynes playing to be golden. Such an artist, fabulous musician, creative like no other, and beautiful person. He's got that big soul. I only wish that I'm still playing when I hit 92 years. Thanks for all the decades of music. I bow to the master teacher and thank Mr. Haynes for the inspiration. Great video segment. Would love to see more.

Please continue doing these Batiste Sessions videos. They are pure delight.

This is like it's own show, and I love it! Jon rocks.

Give Jon a weekly segment please!

As a Jr High School student I was already crazy about serious music but there was a Blue note compilation called "Circling In" mostly with Chick Corea and Roy Haynes from that LP forward I understood intuitively that Haynes was hippist most uncanny modern conception vessel modern jazz drummer. Buoyant propulsive constantly creative and unexpected.

Hats off to Jon Batiste for this excellent interview. Not only did you cull insight from Mr. Haynes, but you also played some great riffs with him!

finest jazz in a mainstream talkshow- I LOVE IT!

Because of videos like this Colbert's show is the best BY FAR.

Oh what a pleasant surprise!

Mr. Haynes is one of my favorites. From playing with Pops to Bird to Chick to Pat Metheny (Question and Answer.) one of my favorites is “To The Beat Of A Different Drummer” where the John Coltrane Quartet plays with Roy Haynes instead of Elvin Jones 🎶❤️💯 He is just unbelievable, and I love his playing. Thank you for this John, and greetings from uptown New Orleans; I wish you and yours all the best, you know your hometown gots nothing but love for you 😊🎶💯

👍🏽👍🏽 Way up. I was fortunate enough to see him live some years ago at JALC. Best concert of my life. Very fortunate to have one of the greats still around. I feel very lucky and honored to have seen him live. Great video. Btw. I own all his albums too.

Wow! What a great idea to let generations (several apart here!) meet to talk and JAM together! So much mutual respect in the conversation as well as the playing together.

This young man was the drummer on my favorite piece of music ever, Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" from Newport '63.

I read Roy's interview in Modern Drummer years ago. I think he moved from Boston to NY in 1941-42 and played the original Birdland and was a part of the Harlem Big Band Jazz scene from the start. Just one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time. If I could go back in time, I would definitely go see the Bird, Monk, Mingus, Haynes Quarte!!!

I can't even remember what the fuck i did two weeks ago... i hope im this lucid if i make it to my 90's

Jon, you are a warm soul. I enjoy seeing these and your care for the subject matter.

The best interviews are when the interviewer is genuinely intrigued by who he/she is interviewing. Jon did a great job here, you can tell he loves not only jazz music, but the history of it all as well

Please, more of these. Magnifique!

Can't believe he's 92.. He at least look like in his 70s

He played with John on the Soul score! Remember the Dorathea Williams audition at the beginning of the movie? He played the drums for that!

Wow. There is something about old musicians like him that makes you want to them talking and playing for hours. More of these, please.

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I just LOVE to hear old masters of arts talk about their experiences.

I absolutely love this! Please give us more of this!

This was so different and engaging, Jon keep doing these please :) You are insightful and warm, the wisdom of the ages is what we're really needing right now. Thank You :) and Cheers from Canada

93 and still smooth as silk :- ) thank you guys! 🤗💓

What a magnificent man

Fantastic interview! Merci Jon and Roy. Love these segments!

Wow, Roy Haynes! Amazing to find this interview on this channel. Thanks for doing this!

This gotta be the best video on this channel by far

This is one of the best videos I've seen from the late show. I would love to see more like this!

That was beautiful, I'm so glad this was uploaded thank you!

Jon got to play with ROY!!! Who is AS hipely dressed as John! Badass!!!

Such a great 8 minutes. I wish it was 8000.

Awesome interview Jon, Roy is a treasure!

This is fantastic. Thank you for doing these segments. It's so important to recognize the greats in the hopes that they will always continue to influence the future generation of musicians. And what I really love about these segments is that I hope people who are unfamiliar with this beautiful music and these beautiful musicians have their minds opened and make the effort to check out more jazz and any non-standard style of music.

Keep em coming Jon! Roy Haynes is an inspiration!

Two great musicians talkin music. This is my kind of video!

Merci à vous monsieur ! That was awesome. Jon is also great.

I'm speechless, this is absolutely wonderful... Thanks to Jon, and of course to Roy for all these magical years!!! Estoy sin palabras, esto es absolutamente maravilloso... Gracias a Jon, y por supuesto a Roy por todos estos años maravillosos!!!

I feel blessed to have seen him perform twice - once in Vancouver, Canada over 20 years ago and over 10 years ago in London, UK. Every time he's fidgets with his bass drum I keep thinking its someone knocking on the door.

This did my heart good today.

Please do more of these! This was amazing!

Mr. Haynes' Son In-law (Mr. Randy Gilmore) is an INCREDIBLE Jazz Saxophonist & his Grandson (Mr. Marcus Gilmore) is an AMAZING Jazz Drummer!!!!

So amazing. Without Roy we don’t have Elvin, Tony, and Jack.

Ok I'm digging in my old jazz collection right now.. Great interview!!!

More of this segment, please and thank you.

This is great. More of this please..

They should give John Batiste a show of his own like the Jools Holland one on the BBC.

This was amazing, I would love more like it!

Very enjoyable segment.

Bless you Batiste... and thanks for the videos

Wonderful segment!

I honestly thought once people hit the age of 90 they become slow, slightly decrepit. But this man has opened my eyes to what 90's could be like.

I've been a fan since I was a kid in the 80s - this is a beautiful interview. He's still hip today as he was back then - he used a small bass drum so that it would fit in his sportscar...and he still sounds great. Amazing! I love "Sarah Vaughn was kind of new," and "every day is Thanksgiving," and "I did a lot of that, playing with the giants."

Great, great, GREAT ROY!!!!🙏

Just saw Roy Haynes perform tonight in Baltimore. He's still going strong. Incredible player.

Good interview. I like that "every day is thanksgiving" line at 5:09. That little tune at 4:37 is James by the Pat Metheny Group.

Fantastic playing, Mr. Haynes. Brilliant duo! Jon Batiste, always beautiful playing! Deborah Greitzer Executive Director Chesapeake Orchestra
