And Yet Another Jazz Great Gone.........

Sad Day Indeed........

Max Roach rewrote the rules of drumming in the 1940’s and spent the rest of his career breaking musical barriers.

05/08/2016

Next week the great pianist presents a new lineup in concert. As he sees it, he's borrowing from the techniques of young cutting-edge musicians — who were themselves preceded by Miles Davis.
