Another of my heroes....

gone. Max Roach was one of the first drummers my dad encouraged me to listen to when I started playing. At first I didn't appreciate it... we were busy with "Wipe Out" and such. A few years later I picked up a Roach album and couldn't believe what I heard. Sensitive where it called for it, and kidking ass where that was needed. Max Roach was one of the good ones out there, and the legacy he leaves is a strong one. See ya, Max. We'll miss you.

The Quartet.
