about
Stephen Haynes is an improvising composer, teaching artist, arts organizer and advocate; a product of the historic and fertile Black Music Division at Bennington College, directed by Bill Dixon. His early foundational studies were with Frank Baird, who chaired the brass department at the University of Colorado's Boulder campus during the sixties and seventies. Haynes currently leads several ensembles: Parrhesia (a trio w/Joe Morris and Warren Smith) and Pomegranate (a quintet with Ben Stapp, William Parker, Joe Morris and Warren Smith). His debut recording as a leader, Parrhesia, is on the Engine Studios label. With Joe Morris, Haynes curates the long-running music series, Improvisations, at Real Art Ways. Over the years he has worked with a range of musicians, with a primary interest in large ensembles and composition: Bill Dixon, George Russell, LaMonte Young, Butch Morris, Rhys Chatham, Adam Rudolph, Leroy Jenkins, JD Parran, Gunter Hampel, Cecil Taylor and the Dells.
