Max Roach, the father of modern jazz drumming, caught in action in Paris, France in 1964. This is one of the few live documents in his 1960s dense activity. Here Roach is at the head of a strong quintet featuring the deep voice of Mrs. Abbey Lincoln and tenor sax giant Clifford Jordan. Starting from an almost all standard repertoire (including gems like Duke Jordan's "Jordu" and Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady") Roach along with Eddie Khan and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson drive the music with their solid hard swinging pulse. Recorded in Paris, January 18, 1964.
