ROY HAYNES - TOGYU
Roy Haynes for RCA Japan from 1973. Roy Haynes - Drums,Vocal ; Richard Davis - Bass ; Kenny Barron - Piano ; Teruo Nakamura - Percussion First time out in blogland for this rarity which only made a limited vinyl release in Japan in '75 and has never made a reissue since in any format.Haynes is joined by Barron on piano and Richard Davis on bass - sitting in for Nakamura - who moves over to percussion and production duties for the session . Four long cuts make up the album - two originals from Barron and Haynes plus a couple of standards. "Azteca" is a furious firecracker to kick off with and the latin mood continues with Chano Pozo's "Tin Tin Deo" and Haynes' "Togyu". "Dear Old Stockholm" closes the album and is performed as a trio with Nakamura sitting out. TOUGH!
