""People show no leniency when speaking of artists who have forced their talent; Max Roach's greatest talent was his fiercely stubborn claim to represent the impossible. The supreme elegance he displayed was his luxury. As for the rest, the only doors he deigned to break down were those under lock and key." Alain GERBER
