Max Roach 1993























Twenty five years ago today (January 1993), I met Max Roach at the IAJE Conference in San Antonio, Texas. I was only 15 years old at the time but I had already started listening to Max through his collaborations with Clifford Brown ("Study in Brown") and Sonny Rollins ("Saxophone Colossus"). I was hooked from the very first notes but after meeting Mr. Roach, shaking his hand and him graciously offering me an autograph I can safely say that my fate was sealed that morning!
