I saw Max Roach many years back. He as old then, but still commanded. He's one of the greatest jazz drummers and set the pace for those who followed. We'll miss him.

Brown and Roach 1954 is one of the best Jazz albums ever.

"money jungle" with charlie mingus and duke ellington is a great album.

 

"max & diz paris 1989" with dizzy gillespie is excellent too.

In early 1947, Max screaming at Duke Jordan for trying to follow Bird and, predictably, fucking up the tempo again, as always:

 

"Clear the fuck out of the way, motherfucker, you fucking up the time again!" - as quoted by Miles Davis
