20.09.2007 : ambrose crowley wrote I had the privilege of metting Max Roach at the 1980 Backnell Jazz Festival. Although only a member of the public he was very courteous and treated me as if I were important and we had a conversation which lasted for abaout half an hour. I left with a pair of drum sticks and he also signed an album I had bought. Max Roach was a great political campaigner, the greatest drummer of all time and above all, a true gentelman.
