Our Take

Max Roach's "We Insist!" album is nothing short of a jazz masterpiece, a rebellious call to arms that demands to be heard. In a genre often associated with smooth melodies and toe-tapping rhythms, Roach's bold exploration of civil rights issues is a breath of fresh air, or should I say, a gust of revolutionary wind. From the moment Abbey Lincoln's powerful vocals pierce through the opening track, "Driva' Man," you know you're in for a wild ride. Roach's thunderous drumming drives each song forward with an infectious energy that is impossible to resist. The album's political themes are particularly relevant in today's turbulent times, serving as a stark reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice. Tracks like "Tears for Johannesburg" and "Freedom Day" showcase Roach's ability to convey deep emotion through his music, with each note pulsating with raw passion. The album's avant-garde sensibilities may not be to everyone's taste, but for those willing to take the plunge, "We Insist!" offers a truly unforgettable listening experience. In conclusion, Max Roach's "We Insist!" is a bold, uncompromising statement that cements his status as a jazz visionary. So put on your beret, pour yourself a glass of port, and let the radical sounds of Max Roach transport you to another dimension. This album is a must-listen for anyone with a soul and a rebellious spirit.
