Max Roach | pl

Maxwell Lemuel Roach (ur. 10 stycznia 1924, zm. 16 sierpnia 2007 w Nowym Jorku) - amerykański perkusista, perkusjonista i kompozytor jazzowy.

Związany był najsilniej z jazzowymi nurtami bebopu i hard bopu. Znany dzięki nagraniom i koncertom z najsłynniejszymi amerykańskimi jazzmanami. Znaleźli się wśród nich między innymi: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus i Sonny Rollins.

Po początkowym sprzeciwie wobec free jazzu, zaakceptował go i rozpoczął kilkuletnią współpracę z Cecilem Taylorem, tworząc z nim duet Cecil Taylor-Max Roach Duo.

Max Roach, uważany obok Arthura Blakeya i Kenny'ego Clarke'a za jednego z najlepszych perkusistów gatunku, wywarł olbrzymi wpływ na kształtowanie metody i techniki gry na jazzowej perkusji.
