Haynes performs on Trumpet, cornet (Bb and soprano), flugelhorn and altohorn. His first two CDs as a leader arrive in 2010: Parrhesia/Engine Records, with Joe Morris and Warren Smith; and Hebeshebewebe/hatOlogy Records, with Alan Jaffe, Mario Pavone and Warren Smith.

Since 2006, Haynes has reunited with his mentor Bill Dixon for performances and production work on 17 Musicians in Search of a Sound: Darfur/Aum Fidelity; and Tapestries for Small Orchestra/Firehouse 12 Records.
