Max Roach Biography
One of the most technically gifted musicians in the history of jazz, Max Roach helped establish a new vocabulary for jazz drummers. A member of the house rhythm section at Monroe's in New York, Roach backed all the leading practitioners of the emerging bebop scene. In 1948 he participated in Miles Davis' seminal Birth of the Cool sessions before forming his own quintet with Clifford Brown. Later, Roach's work, most notably We Insist! Freedom Now Suite, reflected his own commitment to the civil rights movement. Throughout the '70s and '80s, Roach continued to associate with musicians of the avant garde, including Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor. In the '90s Roach was teaching at the University Of Massachusetts but continued to perform, including 1995's M'Boom with Ginger Baker and Tony Williams.
