Our Take

MAX ROACH - Quiet As Its Kept

Ah, well isn't this just a delightful surprise? Max Roach's "Quiet As Its Kept" is a charming little gem of an album, full of surprises and unexpected delights. The title alone sets the tone for the album - quiet, contemplative, and not to be underestimated.

Roach's drumming is, as always, impeccable. His rhythms are tight and intricate, holding everything together like a well-oiled machine. But what really stands out on this album is the surprising array of instruments and sounds Roach and his bandmates incorporate. From off-kilter horns to delicate string arrangements, every track is a unique and unpredictable journey.

Tracks like "Whisper Not" and "Tuba de Nando" showcase Roach's ability to blend traditional jazz with avant-garde elements, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. The production on the album is top-notch, with every instrument shining through in perfect clarity.

Overall, "Quiet As Its Kept" is a triumph for Roach and a must-listen for any jazz fan. It's a testament to his talent and creativity, and a reminder that sometimes the best music is found in the quietest moments. Don't let this one slip under your radar - give it a listen and prepare to be delighted.
