Max Roach :: M’Boom

Max Roach's deep vision of the drums as a communicator of limitless expression permeates every corner of his pathways. Starting in 1970, his M'Boom percussion ensemble was a collective that brought together an array of African, Latin and all sorts of global rhythms. On this 1979 record, the ensemble explores all sorts of polyrhythms with original compositions from all of the expanded octet, as well as abstractly paying tribute to the likes of Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk.
