Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review states, "1958's MAX shows Max Roach at the top of his game. A decade earlier, Roach had absorbed Kenny Clarke's drumming style and, with trumpet virtuoso Clifford Brown, forged his own brand of bebop. By 1958, on his way to becoming a true jazz elder, Roach began pushing the boundaries of jazz even further".[3]

gollark: They are generally very misleading about which settings actually need to be set to do things.
gollark: It's data from phones running, presumably, Google spying software, which mine is not because it runs a custom ROM without that.
