my “fun” for now. Time to lock myself inside and hit the grind. Until the next opportunities arise. Everything happens for a reason.
Also it appears that my music player has finally gone to shit. Couldn’t handle the jams I guess.

Recorded at The Jazz Workshop, San Francisco, California on October 29, 1962. Originally released on Debut (86007).
A crusader for civil rights, Max Roach was both lauded and highly criticized for his outspokenness. Certainly, this album reflects the personality of the master drummer in the political overtones of its title. However, Roach plays a set of music here that belies the notion that his ’60s output had merely become another outlet for his political agenda. As he and his band “speak,” they do so gently, with great control, elegance, and wit. Of the two compositions heard here, the title track is an evolving 25-minute hard bop chart that winds its way into Roach’s classic “The Drum Also Waltzes,” a solo drum set piece. The second song, “A Variation,” begins rubato but gradually morphs into a straight up swing tune. Filled with many creative solos by Roach, Clifford Jordan (tenor sax), and Mal Waldron (piano), SPEAK, BROTHER, SPEAK! is superb jazz.
