Max Roach, architect of FowardEver's favorite jazz album of all time has passed.
Read Forward Ever's complete unedited tribute here.
Roach was not only a formidable drummer, influential bandleader and composer, he was also an ardent human rights crusader.
Roach was one of the first in jazz to use his music as a platform for the civil rights movement.
Long live the great cymbal magician, Max Roaach.
