What a musician. What an artist. What a man.

What a wonderful gift to be able to see this! Young Reggie Workman, Max still with his full vitality and yet having entered that master/guru phase of accrued experience and wisdom. Great video and sound. Love those matte Ludwigs and that thin China cymbal! The 6.5" Black Beauty, what sound! Listening, this group actually reminds me a lot of Mingus' quintet of a couple years prior with Jack Walrath and George Adams (with the notable absence of a chordal instrument). Max was sometimes thought of as a traditionalist but these guys are blowing some hardcore post-bop modern shit here! Thanks for posting.

私も日本公演を聴いているので、あの強烈な演奏が甦って来ました。一見無秩序のような音の洪水が、終わってみれば見事に構成された芸術性の高いジャズになっていた。セシルのトランペットとビリハーパーのテナーサックスにビンビン絡んで来るレージーワークマンのベース。全体を切り刻むマックスローチの激しいドラムはまさにマックスローチが造り上げたローチならではの新しいジャズだったかも知れない。

Most underrated quartet

This is simply stunning!! I am mind blown!! Terrific camera work on the individual solos. The sound, and video of the performance is fabulous. Thank you Z.B. This 61 year old Canadian boy appreciates it. Take care, and all the best.

Amazing Max!

Stunning hihat solo at 20:00.

Thank you 🙏

woauuauau thanks Zvonimir !!!

Brilliant pianoless quartet

L'année où je l'ai vu pour la première fois = en janvier 1977 à l'Espace Cardin (Paris), avec un tromboniste à la place de Cecil Bridgewater.
