Our Take

In a jazz landscape filled with smooth melodies and gentle rhythms, Max Roach's "We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite" is a bold slap in the face. This album, now available in a numbered edition on clear vinyl, serves as a clarion call for liberation and justice.

From the opening track, "Driva' Man," Roach's drumming drives like a runaway train, setting the stage for a powerful musical journey. Abby Lincoln's haunting vocals on "Tears for Johannesburg" demand attention and empathy, while the brass section blares out a call to arms on "Freedom Day."

This album is not afraid to tackle thorny issues, delving into themes of civil rights and social injustice with a ferocity rarely seen in jazz. The experimental nature of the music, combined with Roach's masterful drumming, creates an atmosphere that is both challenging and exhilarating.

While some may find the avant-garde nature of the album off-putting, those willing to dive in will be rewarded with a musical experience unlike any other. "We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite" is a rallying cry for those who refuse to be silenced, a testament to the power of music to incite change. In a world full of mediocrity, this album stands out as a beacon of hope and resistance.
