About

This excellent CD combines two overlooked Mercury albums led by drummer Max Roach (1924-2007) with his pianoless quintet including Tommy Turrentine (trumpet); Julian Priester (trombone); Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax) & Bob Boswell (bass).

Tracks 1-6 ('Quiet As It's Kept') were recorded in New York on July 21, 1959 and tracks 7-11 ('Parisian Sketches') were recorded in Paris on March 1 & 2, 1960.

Everyone's in superb form and highlights include Leon Mitchell's haunting 'To Lady' recorded on the day of Billie Holiday's funeral, Kenny Dorham's 'Lotus Blossom', a 17-minute 5-part suite 'Parisian Sketches' and the stirring 'Liberte'.

With nearly 70 minutes of inventive and exhilarating modern jazz this CD is a must for hard bop enthusiasts and fans of Max Roach.
