Review title: what happened here?!?
Product review: Let me first of all state that I LOVE Max Roach's work over the years. He and Clark are legendary! Unfortunately, even legends grow old and their chops fade away. This recording is the worst thing I've bought in recent memory (and I buy a few CDs a week). I couldn't help but feel that I had been taken by Columbia Records with this one. Neither of the leaders are ever close to bringing this session to life. They sound like, well, very old men. To make matters worse the piano and bass player must have fallen asleep in the studio. They are not very supportive on most and nonexistant on other tracks. It seems that the only tracks that held any sort of interest for the players were when max was using brushes. That only accounts for 2 or 3 tracks though. Save your money for some other old men that can still play like Roy Haynes or Elvin Jones. Same age and still able to keep up with the young cats.
