Description

Title: We Insist: Freedom Suite
Label: Pure Pleasure
Product Type: VINYL LP

At a time when the civil rights movement was starting to heat up, drummer Max Roach performed and recorded a seven-part suite dealing with black history (particularly slavery) and racism. "Driva' Man" has a powerful statement by veteran tenor Coleman Hawkins and there is valuable solo space elsewhere for trumpeter Booker Little and trombonist Julian Priester, but it is the overall performance of Abbey Lincoln that is most notable. Formerly a nightclub singer, Lincoln really came into her own under Roach's tutelage and she is a strong force throughout this intense set. On "Tryptich: Prayer/Protest/Peace," Lincoln is heard in duets with the drummer and her wrenching screams of rage are quite memorable. 180 gram vinyl.

Tracks:
1.1 Driva Man
1.2 Freedom Day
1.3 Triptych: Prayer/Protest/Peace - Max Roach
1.4 All Africa
1.5 Tears for Johannesburg
