Review
by Scott Yanow
Other
than a trio set with the legendary pianist Hasaan Ibn Ali, this set was
Max Roach's only recording as a leader during 1963-67. Three of the six
numbers ("Nommo," "St. Louis Blues" and "In the Red") find Roach
heading a group that includes trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, altoist James
Spaulding, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Jymie Merritt and, on "St.
Louis Blues," Roland Alexander on soprano. Their music is essentially
advanced hard-bop with a generous amount of space taken up by Roach's
drum solos. The other three selections ("The Drum Also Waltzes," "Drums
Unlimited" and "For Big Sid") are unaccompanied features for Max Roach
and because of the melodic and logically-planned nature of his
improvisations, they continually hold on to one's attention.

Aparte
de un trío con el legendario pianista Hasaan Ibn Ali, este conjunto fue
la única grabación de Max Roach como líder durante 1963-67. Tres de los
seis números ("Nommo", "St. Louis Blues" y "In the Red") encuentran a
Roach encabezando un grupo que incluye al trompetista Freddie Hubbard,
el altoista James Spaulding, el pianista Ronnie Mathews, el bajista
Jymie Merritt y, en "St. Louis Blues", Roland Alexander en soprano. Su
música es esencialmente avanzado hard-bop con una generosa cantidad de
espacio ocupado por los solos de batería de Roach. Las otras tres
selecciones ("The Drum Also Waltzes," "Drums Unlimited" y "For Big Sid")
son características no acompañadas para Max Roach y debido a la
naturaleza melódica y lógicamente planificada de sus improvisaciones, se
aferran continuamente a la atención de uno.
