Chicago, like most large American cities is a microcosm of our general American inattentiveness and ennui. The “south side” has been a problem since before I was born and musicians have always had to navigate their way thru this for many decades. Yeah, it’s gotten more intensely dangerous especially since the Reagan years, but it was no picnic before him either. The AACM has been a sustaining force since the mid-60s, but, to be honest, it may not have even developed any further than Muhal’s band if it weren’t for the political and economic upheaval that developed quickly right after the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
I’ll tell you tho: Roscoe knows how to wear a suit! |

It’s hard to keep it straight any more, though, tbh I spent several hours going over his discography to acknowledge his passing. Of the jazz artists who died in my time Max Roach probably saddened me the most. I read or heard or maybe just assumed he was no longer aware that he was one of the greatest drummers ever because he died of a brain disorder that caused serious mental impairment. I hope I was wrong. I hope he knew to the end how much better he left the world.

I never remembered which one of my aunts and uncles were dead until they all died. That greatly simplified the matter. I still don’t remember their ****ing names.
