About Floyd:
From the first time Floyd Haynes played with a big band he was hooked. His saxophone teacher and mentor, Joe Davis from NSU in Tahlequah drove Floyd to the Shangri La resort on Grand Lake to play with Forrest Wasson and the Shangri La Orchestra in the Golden Eagle Ballroom. While playing through college, this is where he got to meet the great Woody Herman . Upon graduation Floyd spent time working toward a Masters degree at UCO with the great jazz educator Dr. Kent Kidwell and played Dixieland music seven nights a week with the Civilized Tribe Dixieland at a barbecue joint. While performing with The Sammy Pagna Big Band in a battle of the big bands with Jack Morgan and the Russ Morgan Orchestra Floyd was asked by Jack Morgan to join The Russ Morgan Orchestra on tour. Floyd traveled with Jack Morgan and the Russ Morgan Orchestra and also Guy Lombardo's Royal Canadians for a few years. Floyd received a country music education traveling with Jana Jae and played with Chet Atkins in Nasville where he met Boots Randolph. This is how he learned both kinds of music "Country and Western."
Floyd was able to garner some Motown experience with The Temptations and The Fifth Dimension.
While playing with symphonies for acts like The Smothers Brothers, Floyd got to work with the very talented Mel Torme who was very complimentary.
Floyd married the love of his life, Judy, and they owned and operated a successful musical instrument store for several years.
When the great local band leader Al Good passed away, Floyd was honored to be asked to lead that band. Now with the constant support and love of his late father Kelly Owen Haynes and encouragement from his mother, wife, and extended family, I present to you Floyd Haynes and his Orchestra.
