The Roy Haynes Century

We're thankful for Roy Haynes, the jazz drummer who energized scores of jazz stars: Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan, + many more.
Roy Haynes died recently, 4 months before his 100th birthday. We remember him on this week's show with Robin Kelley:

New show! Hear @tricialockwood.bsky.social: "I'll see halos around things or shadows in words. A lot of times reading, I'll get just the barest beginnings of an aura, of a migraine. And for me, that's where it happens. That's where it really hits."

Thank you!
The longest-running (and first??) podcast ever is still going strong, thanks to Christopher Lydon, one of the most talented interviewers and radio hosts around. If you’re looking for thought-provoking listening on arts/news, I highly recommend “Open Source.” The recent Roy Haynes episode is great.

The novelist Joshua Cohen on this week's show:
"I think that there is a strain of Jewishness, let's say, so as not to say the word Judaism, that is deeply diasporic, and it is in some way a product of a negative theology. It is essentially the idea of saying, 'No.' It is the refusal to join."
