Max Roach was born in the Dismal Swamp area of North Carolina in 1924. While growing up in Brooklyn, New York, he found himself drawn to the drums at an early age. In his teen years he began to play with such Jazz Masters as Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Coleman Hawks. By the age of 30 he had become one of the most seminal drummers of the 20th century, whose progressive percussionist breakthroughs influenced several subsequent generations. His early successes as a sideman led him to even greater achievements as a band leader in his own right, starting in the 1950s. Max Roach was an inspiring figure to both the Civil Rights and the Black Power movements of the Sixties. His “We Insist! Freedom Now Suite” (1960) was one of the most powerful artistic statements of the era and is cited as one of the key recordings in the history of Jazz Music. His collaborations with other artist ranged from classic Jazz Combos to full orchestras, vocal choruses and inventive string ensembles, including the Uptown String Quartet and the Double Quartet with his daughter Maxine Roach.

His collaboration repertoire embraced large all percussion groups and improvisational duos with avant-garde adventurers as Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp and Anthony Braxton, also segueing into major dance productions with Alvin Ailey and Bill T. Jones. Theatrically he embraced partnerships with diverse playwrights the likes of William Shakespeare, Amir Baraka, Sam Shepard and Wole Soyinka. Leading the way in business Max Roach co-founded Debut Records and operated his own publishing house Milma, producing a variety of projects through MR Productions. Serving as a dedicated teacher from 1972, on the music faculty of University of Massachusetts at Amherst, he generously was always willing to share his insights and experiences via teaching, worldwide lectures and public appearances. An adventurous creator, tireless performer, articulate spokesman and passionate educator, Max Roach was recognized as an iconic American Artist, receiving numerous honors and awards including the MacArthur Foundation’s “genius” grant.

PROJECT PROPOSAL 5

Vanity Fair called MAX ROACH THE TIMEKEEPER Drummer, composer.

More than 100 albums, one MacArthur “genius” grant.

As they say - or, more accurately, sing - of God at Passover, if He had

only split the sea for us, that would have been enough. Let’s embarrass Max Roach,

at 77 one of America’s true musical divinities, by extending the conceit to him.

If he had only pioneered the art of bebop drumming, lightening the beat from

swing era wallop to modern, caffeinated skitter, that would have been enough. If he had

only played with - we’ll keep the list manageable - Duke Ellington Coleman Hawkins,

Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis (Roach was in on the

Birth of the Cool sessions), Clifford Brown, Abbey Lincoln (his wife for eight years),

and Fab 5 Freddy, that would have been enough. If he had only been one of the most

ambitious and wide-raging composers of the second half of the 20th century, if he

had only been virtually the sole musician of his generation to make it through the 70s

without releasing a single schlocky fusion album, that really would have been enough.

Even God has a halfhearted Psalm or two on his ledger; Roach, in his protean six

decades as an artist, has never lost the faith.
