Dizzy Gillespie & Max Roach (Paris - 1989) 

I found this CD summer of 1992, in a used record store in San Francisco called Streetlight Records. I was a 19 year old kid and took a chance. Turned me onto Jazz and changed my life forever. 👍

Back in the late 90's I heard this album being played on the local college radio station in Morgantown WV. WOW. Wrote the name down on the chop saw work bench and bought the CD a few days later. One of my most cherished pieces of music. I had never heard drums played so melodically. Never had heard of Max Roach. Max and Dizzy is still visible on my work bench.

Drumming at its finest by one of the masters.

Mounstrous drummer. One of the best, ever.

An historical show that will last forever. Dizzy Gillespie and Max Roach, two of the greatest, ever.

Max made his drumming sing and talk,

Come to think of it, I see a lot of Max in Jeff “Tain” Watts’ playing
