Max Roach
As the drummer on many early bebop sessions in the 1940s, Max Roach was central in forging the new musical style. His technique, finesse, and sheer musicality had a fundamental effect on the role of the drummer, and his innovations have become part of the jazz language. In a career that lasted more than half a century, Roach explored numerous musical avenues, often merging a taste for formalism with a constant search for spontaneity. He passed away in August, 2007.
