Three of the six numbers (\"Nommo,\" \"St. Louis Blues\" and \"In the Red\") find Roach heading a group that includes trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, altoist James Spaulding, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Jymie Merritt and, on \"St. Louis Blues,\" Roland Alexander on soprano. Their music is essentially advanced hard-bop with a generous amount of space taken up by Roach's drum solos. The other three selections (\"The Drum Also Waltzes,\" \"Drums Unlimited\" and \"For Big Sid\") are unaccompanied features for Max Roach and because of the melodic and logically-planned nature of his improvisations, they continually hold on to one's attention. ~ Scott Yanow","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52815009284383,"sku":"081227375829","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/52f7103b4877b8c83f32a7d68a380715.jpg?v=1787770095","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/drums-unlimited","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
