Wonderful music!

That looks interesting. Added it to my amazon wishlist.

I first had a chance to listen to him through some copies King Ubu gave me - excellent player! R.I.P.

Yesterday and today:

Played disc one to three this afternoon - some great Hawk here.

Well here's father and daughter:

This Impulse LP maybe another victim of the tape loss of the label. Melvin REhyne is on half ogf the tracks.

This is a very good, underrated album!

This afternoon - excellent recording on two rare original Italian instruments with very individual sound.

This afternoon - but the Choir of King's College recording moves me a lot more.

There was a feature issue on Max Roach from the Swiss magazine "Du", in German language: http://www.du-magazin.com/kiosk/detail/667 That 1978 interview is the one reprinted in the Jazz Podium book.

Solo piano version of Fauré's beautiful Requiem, grown out of Naoumoff's fascination with the work. I must admit I find the vocal version much more enchanting.

A biography of Max Roach would be like writing a history of jazz from the 1940's to 2000 - a major research endeavour. Max came out of Baby Dodds, Jo Jones, and Cozy Cole, Klook, Blakey and others forged different personal styles from similar influences. The three drummers I mentioned as his influences all are favoring well constructed playing. Clearly recognizable structure, even when accompanying, but not repetitive. Like someone said "He does the piano player's comping on the drums". That's a musical logic leading to his pianoless groups.

These two LPs were also reissued on a Fresh Sound CD. Still available. There were several reissues, see here: https://attictoys.com/elmo-hope-discography/

I always wondered what this sounds like ....

I found these:

Might be, but the CD sound worse. Sounds like the available tapes were defective.

This afternoon:

The McCoy Tyner - Tender Moments is the one I would buy, given it sounds better than the CD reissues. I regret I sold my 1980's French LP reissue.
