Max Roach – Deeds, Not Words

Out of stock

$26.00

Special vinyl reissue of Max Roach’s 1958 album Deeds, Not Words which finds the jazz great blurring the boundaries of hard bop. Produced by Orrin Keepnews, the fine 8-song documents the beginnings of Roach’s association with the great young trumpeter Booker Little and is innovative in its use of Ray Draper’s tuba as a melody instrument. Tenor saxophonist George Coleman and bassist Art Davis round out the excellent quintet. The Riverside date is highlighted by the popular jazz standard “You Stepped Out of a Dream,” the Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne penned “It’s You or No One” and the unaccompanied Roach drum showcase “Conversation.”
