IN TRIBUTE: MAX ROACH. For the anniversary of his death, 8/16/07, we're commemorating the life and legacy of my late husband, drummer/composer Max Roach with an encore presentation of "The Dreamer, The Drummer, The Struggle: Dr. King, Max Roach, FREEDOM NOW!"
The show pays tribute to Dr. King's vision, courage, gift of hope, and leadership with “The Dream.” Composed and performed by Max, this duet features his solo drumming and Dr. King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington.
Hear selections from Max' masterwork “WE INSIST: The Freedom NOW Suite,” with commentary by two special guests who worked with Max and called him friend: musician Brother Ah and stage director George Ferencz.
