Tony Williams was primarily inspired by him, Art Blakey and Philly Joe Jones. He is one of the great legends of drumming and is one of my major influences.

    I saw Max Roach when he was with Abbey Lincoln and when he played with Miles Davis. 1 of them was at the old Birdland before it shut down.

    This is a song called "Sweet Clifford". A better understanding of Max's playing with a drum solo at the end.
