Max Roach - We Insist! : Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite (1960)

1. Driva Man
2. Freedom Day
3. Triptych: Prayer/Protest/Peace - Max Roach,
4. All Africa
5. Tears for Johannesburg



Considered Max Roach's "Finest Piece of Work". This album is a jazz man classic. Recorded during one of the most important Black American movements (Civil Right Movement), creates a soulful and powerful mood to the righteous ear. Abby Lincoln (Max's Former wife) also appears on the album with her soothing vocals. 5 stars on amazon and Infinity Stars in my opinion.
