Jazz drummer Max Roach is one of the instrument's greatest masters. He revolutionized the way the drum is used, and his profound impact can still be felt in jazz today. A major voice in the bebop revolution, it is Roach's drumming that punctuated many of the genre-shaping recordings from the late forties and early fifties, including Miles Davis' historic The Birth Of The Cool . It was also around this same time that he and Charles Mingus started up their own label, Debut Records. These live recordings (from 1960-1961) come from a time when Roach was a vocal advocate of the Civil Rights movement, increasingly mixing music and politics, perhaps best illustrated on his classic 1960 We Insist! Freedom Now Suite .
