Max Roach His Chorus And Orchestra

Europe Limited Edition, Reissue, Gatefold. Sleeve EX. Max Roach came out of the bebop era but was at the forefront of jazz into the 1990s. On It's Time, he takes again the Civil Rights themes of his previous album, Percussion Bitter Sweet, and applies a choir to them, giving his musical and political thrust an almost godly urgency. Here, the musical and the political are impossible to separate and Roach uses these voices to provoke and discomfort us.
