We are excited to present this five-week residency from precocious drummer and bandleader Zach Howarth and his trio as they honor the legacy of one of the most iconic drummers in music history: Roy Haynes. Haynes (1925-2024) was a musician whose career became synonymous with the trajectory of jazz history; from playing the Charlie Parker Quintet in the 50s to recording with Chick Corea on his touchstone 1968 album Now He Sings, Now He Sobs to touring with Danilo Perez and John Patitucci in the 2000s. Zach will be joined by two other remarkable young musicians for this series.

Zach Howarth is a new dynamic percussionist, composer, and educator based in the Denver/Boulder area. Known for his ability to blend tradition and modernity in his playing and writing, Zach has made significant contributions to the jazz and contemporary improvisational music scenes. He has performed with Art Lande, Adam Benjamin, Mimi Fox, Kevin Sun, the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra, the Des Moines Metro Opera, and other artists and ensembles across the nation. Having studied with mentors such as Greg Hutchinson, Ari Hoenig, and Justin Brown, and having been on 10+ recordings as a leader or sideman, Zach has contributed to multiple jazz, classical, alternative, metal, country, pop, and folk/Americana projects. He currently teaches at the University of Colorado, Boulder as a Graduate Teaching Assistant where he is working toward his DMA in Jazz Studies.
