What in hell, do you expect. Max Roach passed away recently, Lord knows I feel bad ..... but.... I have no personal connection to the man. Jazz has been one of my fave genre choices ever since my days as a DJ. Don't get me wrong ... I am not an expert in jazz, not even close. I seem to know a lot about a specific period in Jazz ( BEBOP ) and the rest of my knowledge is fairly general, well better than general but not by much. Anyway before I get to deep I want you to know I like Jazz, .... but.Did Roach call me? No.Did I ever play with Roach? No.Did Roach change my life? No.He died at 83. I haven't even listened to much he recorded after 1969. He will be missed. More for his legacy than by his presence. He is gone, except it. I said he didn't change my life, yet he did alter its course (in a broader sense). We can mourn the loss. I would rather revel in his memory. Max, go knowing you will live forever and your influence will be everlasting.
This track comes from the album *Jazz in 3/4 Time*. The line up is as follows;George Morrow (bass)Billy Wallace (piano)Kenny Dorham (trumpet) who smokes BTW!And none other than Sonny Rollins on tenor. This is a capital H, Hot quintet.
