Max Roach

geboren: 8.Jan.1924, Newland Township, Pasquotank County, North Carolina/USA [gemäß eines Max-Roach-Interviews mit Phil Schaap]; gestorben: 16. August 2007, New York, New York/USA

Der Schlagzeuger Max Roach starb am Morgen des 16. August im Alter von 83 Jahren im Beisein seiner Töchter Dara und Maxine. Bereits 1942 spielte er mit Charlie Parker in einem Nightclub in Harlem. Zusammen mit Kenny Clarke erneuerte er während der Bebop-Ära der 40er Jahre die Rolle des Schlagzeugs im Jazz. Er sah sich nie in rein diendender Rolle sonder immer als ein ebenbürtiges Bandmitglied. In den 50er Jahren leitete er zusammen mit dem Trompeter Clifford Brown ein einflussreiches Hardbop-Quintett. In den späten 50er Jahren beschäftigte er sich mit ungeraden Rhythmen; in den 60er Jahren war er einer der ersten Jazzmusiker, die ihre Musik für deutlichen politischen und antirassistischen Protest nutzten. In den 70er Jahren unterrichtete er an der University of Massachusetts, gab Duokonzerte mit Avantgardisten wie Cecil Taylor oder Anthony Braxton. In den 80er Jahren arbeitete er mit einem Doppelquartett, bestehend aus seinem eigenen Ensemble und dem Uptown String Quartet, dem seine Tochter Maxine angehörte. Er tourte bis Anfang des neuen Jahrhunderts und schrieb und spielte noch 2002 die Musik zum Dokumentarfilm "How to Draw a Bunny" über den Künstler Ray Johnson. [Wolfram Knauer]

Max Roach

born: 8.Jan.1924, Newland Township, Pasquotank County, North Carolina/USA [according to Max Roach interview with Phil Schaap]; died: 16. August 2007, New York, New York/USA

The drummer Max Roach died early on August 16th at the age of 83. His daughters Dara and Maxine were with him. In 1942 already Roach had played with Charlie Parker at a Harlem night club. Together with Kenny Clarke he had revolutionized the role of the drums in jazz during the bebop era. He saw his function never purely as a serving one but always felt like an equal band member. In the 50s he co-led an influential hardbop quintet with the trumpeter Clifford Brown. In the late 50s he worked with irregular rhythms; in the 60s he was one of the first jazz musicians to use their music for clear political and anti-racist protest. In the 70s he taught at the University of Massachusetts; he also gave duo concerts with avantgarde musicians such as Cecil Taylor and Anthony Braxton. In the 80s he worked with a double quartet made from his own ensemble and the Uptown String Quartet, one member of which was his daughter Maxine. He toured up to the early 21st century and in 2002 wrote and played the music for the documentary "How to Draw a Bunny" about the artist Ray Johnson. [Wolfram Knauer]

Yet the music also has a rich history of political consciousness; musicians such as Duke Ellington, Max Roach and Charles Mingus used their work to uplift their fellow African-Americans and denounce oppression. The avant garde took things further during the social upheaval of the 60s. With September 11 pushing the global power dynamics to an alarming precipice, the need for musicians to speak out would seem more urgend than ever.
