Max (Max Roach album)

MAX is an album by American jazz drummer Max Roach featuring tracks recorded in 1958 and released on the Argo label.

Reception

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".
