Max Roach – drums, percussion

Recorded for Swiss Radio in Lausanne, Switzerland, in October of 1976. This is an original 1978 release from Japan. Includes an insert with notes in Japanese! First press on Victor.





Recorded in 1976, but not released until 1978 and only in Japan. This record is astonishingly good. Truly a beast of a free jazz-post bop session that features Max Roach on Drums, Billy Harper on Tenor (who's solo at the beginning of side two reaffirms my belief that he is one of the greatest Tenor players of all time), Cecil Bridgewater on Trumpet and Reggie Workman on Bass.

Enjoy!



If you find it, buy this album!

    Many thanks - Fantastic! Been looking for a lossless version of this for ages. Now, if you also have "The Loadstar" and "Confirmation" you will make one Greek jazz fan very happy indeed!

    A great one, thank you very much!
    Somehow I did not pay much attention to his 70's period, apart from the M'Boom lp, but sure this group is on fire. Seems like that other recordings from this Quartet (Live in Tokyo or Amsterdam) are quite hard to find.

    Thanks vitko. I saw this band in New Orleans many years ago (Pope, not Harper, on tenor). Bridgewater was on fire that night. He remains one of the great under-recorded talents of the late 20th-early 21st centuries.
