Our Take
Max Roach's "We Insist! Freedom Now Suite" is a whirlwind of musicality that will leave you feeling like you've just been on a rollercoaster ride through the civil rights movement. From the moment you press play, you'll be transported to a time when jazz was more than just music – it was a powerful tool for social change. This album is a stunning example of Roach's mastery of the drums, with each beat serving as a battle cry for freedom. The addition of vocals by Abbey Lincoln only adds to the emotional depth of the music, making it impossible not to be moved by the sheer intensity of their performance. Songs like "Driva' Man" and "Freedom Day" are not only musically captivating but also socially relevant, touching on themes of slavery, racial injustice, and the fight for equality. Roach's ability to seamlessly blend these heavy topics with infectious rhythms and innovative composition is nothing short of genius. The two bonus tracks included on this reissue only serve to enhance the overall listening experience, offering a deeper insight into Roach's creative process and the historical context of the album. In conclusion, "We Insist! Freedom Now Suite" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music with a message. So sit back, relax, and let Max Roach take you on a journey through history with his powerful drumming and unapologetic social commentary.
