MAX ROACH
MEMBERS, DON’T GIT WEARY ATLANTIC, 1968
Hooking up with an old mentor on a journey into lush, modal pastures
I had sat in with Max Roach when he came to Baltimore when I was about 14 years old. He gave me his telephone number and said if I came to New York to give him a call, which I did. I started going by his house and we became friends. He loved to play chess, so we would play chess all day and talk about music.
