The Third Eye / Drum Conversation – Max Roach
The Third Eye
When it came to mastering his domain, Max Roach took a back seat to no one! His smooth, energetic style placed him in the constant company of jazz icons like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, and Sonny Rollins, to name just a few.
Drum Conversation
This is a Max Roach drum solo from “Jazz At Massey Hall” recorded live in Toronto, Canada. A pioneer of bebop, Max worked comfortably in many other styles of music as well, and is generally considered to be one of the most important drummers in history.
