We Three , recorded in a single session on November 14, 1958, was the first American studio date as a bandleader for the diminutive and legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes, although with pianist Phineas Newborn on board (along with bassist Paul Chambers), it really is a set dominated by Newborn, whose busy, two-handed technique here works in tandem balance with Haynes' cool refinement. Newborn was all about amazing and dazzling piano runs that on some dates created simply too much flash and clutter...

"A wide-ranging work that absorbs all the influences from Haynes various gigs; the boppish waltz 'Modette' gives way to a conventional reading of the standard 'Im Getting Sentimental Over You', quickly followed by the soul jazz 'Go 'n' Get It!'" All About Jazz
