Max Roach was an American jazz drummer, bandleader, and artist. He was born on January 10, 1924 in Newland, Pasquotank County, North Carolina and passed away on August 16, 2007 in Manhattan, New York City at the age of 83. Roach was married to singer Abbey Lincoln and their daughter was a talented viola player.
Roach is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished jazz drummers and percussionists of his time. Throughout his career, he collaborated with legendary jazz musicians such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Sonny Rollins.
If you enjoy the music of Andrew Hill, Freddie Hubbard or Oliver Nelson among others from that era of jazz music then Max Roach's work will surely captivate you. His contributions to the genre are highly influential and continue to inspire generations of musicians today.

Roach vowed after it's release that he would never again play music that is not socially relevant and told Down Beat magazine, "We American jazz musicians of African descent have proved beyond all doubt that we're master musicians of our instruments. Now what we have to do is employ our skill to tell the dramatic story of our people and what we've been through." The album inspired Roach to broaden his scope as a composer and collaborate with choreographers, filmmakers, and playwrights. The LP includes extraordinary liner notes written by Hentoff himself, giving a context and insight that adds to the experience of hearing these magnificent performances.
