Max Roach, Jazz Drummer & Genius

“The jazz drum set itself is uniquely American, yet the drummer has always been treated as a second-class citizen. I've tried in my own humble way to say that this instrument can create sound design that can be arresting and interesting, intellectual, full of feeling."
--Max Roach
