Moses BoydGUEST
Sounds odd to say being a black music, but that wasn't the norm.
Moses BoydGUEST
You know, young black kids weren't picking up the drums and wanting to be Max Roach.
Moses BoydGUEST
It was the gospel chops thing.
Moses BoydGUEST
It was the Dennis Chambers thing.
Bruce BeckerGUEST
You need to get like a little rock sensibility.
Bruce BeckerGUEST
And for those guys who were only just rock guys, I'd go like, you got to start to listen to a little bit of jazz and kind of, you know, give some more roundness to your time feel and bring a little bit of that bounce like a John Bonham who was, you know, influenced by Max Roach.
Bruce BeckerGUEST
Previous guys to that period and all the Motown drummers, of course, but all those guys had like a jazz input in their youth, like a Carl Palmer or a Mitch Mitchell.
Bruce BeckerGUEST
I would always say Mitch Mitchell sounded just like the rock and roll Elvin Jones.

Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
And it really became this gift that kept on giving because as I began to explore, I realized that all the women who are at the center of my book, Maya Angelou, Lorraine Hansberry, Amir Makeba, Abby Lincoln all performed and collaborated at the Village Gate.
Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
But so did a young Harry Belafonte and Max Roach and Richard Pryor and Sidney Poitier.
Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
And so, and James Baldwin used to hang out and watch the women perform there.
Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
So it was really this explosion of riches that was unfolding in this place.
Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
And so one of the things I want to establish with the book is.
Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
Whether or not, and I think the answer is yes, but how women's friendships inform the artists that these women became.
Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
And so Max Roach and Abby Lincoln's relationship is well known and obviously is important to her development as an artist.
Soyica Diggs ColbertGUEST
But one of the cases that I wanted to make in the book is that her friendship with Maya Angela was also very important to her becoming an artist and omitting that piece of people's stories.
Jason RojasPANELIST

Ryan KeberleGUEST
Right.
Ryan KeberleGUEST
And very overtly in the 50s and 60s, Max Roach and Charles Mingus and.
Ryan KeberleGUEST
And even through folks like Duke Ellington, who was never very vocal, but just by being an African-American at that time and creating some of the greatest art in human history is an act of protest.
Ryan KeberleGUEST
And so, yeah, when we first started Catharsis after the 2016 election, I thought, OK, I wanted to be more proactive.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
So what was that? I mean, we did that too.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
I definitely transcribed my fair share of Philly and Tony and Max, a lot of Max Roach.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
Like I love Max Roach still to this day.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
Like I, I try to listen to as, you know, the broad spectrum of drummers, even though, you know, jazz is my thing.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
That's where I feel the most comfortable and like, you know, I can express myself fully.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
But he would find a way to like incorporate it.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
Like, okay.
Cassius Goens IIIGUEST
let's do this Max Roach thing, but now like try to incorporate some of the Chris Dave stuff too.
Michael KarnGUEST
And then I think he sort of left New York, but he played with a lot of people.
Michael KarnGUEST
And there's a video of him on YouTube playing with Max Roach, this big tall guy with long arms.
Michael KarnGUEST
And he was a tenor player.
Michael KarnGUEST
