I love it too. I purchased it in 1978 when I first saw Max Roach live. If I remember right, this was the only Max Roach LP they had in the record store then.  It was a pleasant surprise for me to have Clifford Jordan on it, he is very strong, as is Eddie Khan on bass.  But then, it was on another label, it was the French "America" Label, which had mostly Mingus records from the sixties.  Roach when I saw him first, performed with Cecil Bridgewater, Billy Harper and Reggie Workman.

I heard Sue´s Changes live, but it was one year later, and I think Adams and Pullen were replaced by Ricky Ford and first Danny Mixon and I think I had heard Sue´s Changes with Dannie Mixon on piano. During his solo spot he got into a medium tempo stride and the audience loved it.  I saw Mingus one year later but I think he had skipped Sue´s Changes from the set list, they played his new opus "Cumbia&Jazz Fusion"..... as far as I can remember after almost 50 years. 

I first heard him on Liebman´s Drum Ode, which was a favourite of mine then when it came out and still is.
