Freedom Now Suite

CD-Charts > Music > Drums
by: Max Roach

Release Date October 01, 1999
This is a very heavy hard bop album and is well worth a listen. It is a concious offering and is very dark in places. There are several sections where Max and Abbey Lincoln get to stretch out on their own and the dynamics and interaction between the two musicians is sublime. The opening track (driva' Man) sets the scene with Abbey Lincoln singing from the perspective of a slave and her relationship with the slave driver. Colman Hawkins is on fire, playing a solo full of soul and lyricism. Freedom Day is a hectic hard bop offering delivered in triple time and again shows Mr Roach's melodic style. Triptych is a piece that is on the more experimental tip where Abbey Lincoln expresses the feeling of a generation dealing with the ... Read More:

Study in Brown

CD-Charts > Music > Drums
by: Clifford Brown

Release Date October 01, 1999
While he might not be a household name, Clifford Brown was - I believe - one of the best jazz trumpeters ever to have played, up there with the likes of Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan, players people are inclined to make much more noise about, but none of whom, I don't think, ever surpassed Brown's charismatic and joyful sound.

After Brown died in a car crash at the age of only 27, Dizzy Gillespie went as far as to describe the day as a fatal blow for jazz. It's understandable why Gillespie felt this way - Brown was not only a virtuouso player, he had incredible soul and subtlety, as well as stunning speed and style. Add to that that he was also a composer in his own right, with a very distinctive quality ... Read More:
