A veteran New York artist, featured on more than 50 CDs released by numerous American and European record labels, Phil Haynes is one of the leading jazz percussionist/composers of his generation. His debut, The Paul Smoker Trio's QB with Anthony Braxton, was named the #1 recording of 1985 by esteemed critic Kevin Whitehead.; The international media have compared his drumming to masters 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 the critically acclaimed three recordings for Enja Records by the composer's collective, Joint Venture, Haynes' diverse and distinctive dozen recordings as a leader include: Continuum (violinist Mark Feldman's jazz debut); the ground breaking and iconic ensemble 4 Horns What?; his recording of jazz standards , A Couch in Brooklyn (featuring Israeli pianist Micu Narununsky and bassist Drew Gress ); The Hammond Insurgency with B-3 organ artist Jeff Palmer; Free Country's trilogy of Americana with cellist/vocalist Hank Roberts, as well as his singular solo drum-set recording entitled Sanctuary.
After founding the nationally noted Jazz At Bucknell chamber series in 2005 , Haynes accepted an appointment as Bucknell University's Kushell Jazz Artist-in-Residence. Since 2007, Haynes annually teaches two courses in Jazz History as a guest lecturer in Music, directs the Bucknell Improvisation Intensive Ensemble (BIIE), coaches the Bucknell Jazz Band rhythm section, works with various campus small groups, maintains an active private studio, and leads the all volunteer Bison Pep Band. His Pennsylvania based trio, Adams/Stetz Haynes, features works by the great pianists of the history of jazz, from Scott Joplin through Keith Jarrett. In addition, Haynes performs regularly in the region with the legendary Harrisburg pianist, Steve Rudolph, The Pennsylvania Jazz Orchestra, as well as his own new group - The Hammond Brothers - with regional organ artist Steve Adams and guest musicians such as the legendary David Liebman.
