I worked at Bradley's as a barteender from '87 to '90, I met Roy when he was like 17 with Geof Keezer. Wendy brought them into play and play they did. It was when Art Blakey, John Hicks, Danny Moore,George Coleman, Kirk Lightsey, Kenny Barron, Clifford Jordan etc etc, the masters came in and played for each other and after 4am we locked up and then they played some more , great jams after dark. Bradley's was amazing.
to all you guys with an attitude,..let him sniff, snort, shoot up, or what ever he feels like doing. he is a musician, devoting his life, in order to balance our planet thru music. in order to survive in that biz you NEED an Ego, one way or the other. calling him a clown, poser, or whatever just shows so much more of YOUR State of Mind, then of his. Let him have his ways,..is he hurting anybody ? NO are you guys hurting someone by insulting an Artist ? YES clear Deal for my Opinion,..
dudes... there is a such thing as allergies,colds,the flu...he was clearly sick....letz not be so neg bros...this is a legendary guy that we can learn alot from..
To the comments regarding RH on substances: hes harming no one else. Would rather hear someone high af taking risks and playing their ass off than the safe-space, gentrified regurgitation that occurs these days
You hear cats who dont swing...no melody..playing like bad Zappa or Stravinsky haha bad Stravinsky..like they invented something..dome asdjole made the vomment sbout swing being ftom yhd 50d..okd fsdhikned..etc..swing is a feel a pulse yhat mudt be a part of music jazz or ehatever u csll it...if prople look serious not having fun not boppin in their seats..it aint music !!!! Music is for dancing!!! If u cant dance to it it ain't music..even Beethoven Bach brahms swings n sways...

clear Deal for my Opinion,..
jealous of others..some musicians are like that
Tell them. And they are all probably mourning his death now.
Sage wisdom. "Get back to the basics."

He is sniffling a lot, so what. The best heroes are the worst saints.
sniffing doesn't mean he's on anything
What a deuce ego, great player tho
Dude needs to quit snorting that stuff, this clown is high as a kite!!
you don't know that for sure
