Rating:  - Chills...down your spine...
Hearing Abbey Lincoln scream during Max's drum solo in "Triptych Prayer/Protest/Peace" will send chills down your spine. You have never heard anything quite like this.

Roach & anyone he includes in his recordings will be well
worthwhile listening to. But I was specifically looking
for CDs that had some direct contributions from jazz legend
Clifford Brown. THIS WAS NOT THE PLACE!
