Title: Unlimited indeed
Review: I've always been appreciative of jazz, but I have to admit that I've never been very knowledgeable. This record makes me want to change that immeditely. I bought this album on vinyl when I was rummaging through some records at a local shop. It was for $3 so I figured, what the heck?I was captivated from the first moment Max Roach starts playing on "The Drum Also Waltzes." He creates a magnificent drum pattern in 3/4 time that almost speaks. It reminds me somewhat of listening to West African talking drums.Again, I know little of jazz, but I know talent when I hear it and I have to surmise that Max Roach is among the greatest drummers to ever tap a snare. I know that Max Roach has some records that he did with Duke Ellington. I'm itching to get those too.
Is the review positive or negative?
