NPR : Jazz Legend Max Roach Dies at 83
It seems like we're doing this more and more, marking the passage of some beloved great. Max Roach was probably the best drummer who ever lived. And what's so remarkable about this is that he hung out and helped start a movement in jazz by simply hanging out and jamming with so of the other "best who ever lived." This dude used to hang out with Charlie Parker, Mingus, Miles Davis, without him, none of them would have been as cool as they were.
I've been digging into the albums he released under his own bands, and I've been blown away.
