ZOOM ON THE DRUMMER AND COMPOSER MAX ROACH
Roach's ability to construct solos that are highly musical as well as rhythmically contoured in a most imaginative way was clearly demonstrative. His commitment to the growing movement towards racial equality gave a political significance to much of his writing.
We propose you albums on CDs rarely released that this giant of Jazz recorded between 1978 and 1987.
"Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty."
