My Mother took me and my sister to see Max Roach and Abby Lincoln at a place called The Aqua Lounge on 52nd street in West Philly in the 60's. Me and my sister were like WHAAAAT...! I've never forgotten that show. Thanks Mom....!

I remember the Aqua Lounge on 52nd Street.
This was real. Profound. Heart wrenching. Historical. Spiritual. Birth of jazz. From the worst suffering imaginable came a thread of creative life. I had never guessed that I'd would have encountered this performance tonight. It was a life changing experience. Thank you for posting this video. Wow.
I feel very privileged to be able to step back in time with this powerful performance. It's heavy.
I'm 63. I remember Abbey Lincoln. She was wonderful. So talented and naturally beautiful. She also acted. RIP. 🧡🙏

oh yeah great story @user-ke8if6ri9r. NOT!!!!!!! Its typical really, he had the passion and desire to listen & collect, she takes it, along with the house and kid . Probably only listened to them once while banxxxx his workmates. At least he now gets the blues, I guess there's always a positive etc...
This is extraordinary. Abbey Lincoln was a force of nature, an expression of the beauty and wonder of the universe.
Clifford Jordan never plays a wrong note or a misplaced phrase. He is far too underrated in the history of great tenors among rank and file jazz folks.

AMAZING JAZZ HISTORICAL FOOTAGE Abbey Lincoln with the Max Roach Quartet, January, 1964 in Belgium for a Studio performance; this remarkable session now a treasure display of where jazz DIDN’T go, and perhaps couldn’t have gone. Herein presented: jazz as experimentation, minimalism, atonality, ‘tribal-musicality’ undertones combined with a almost purist disassociation (negation) of the musicological (reportorial) legacies of Ella Fitzgerald/Sarah Vaughan Shirley Basse + The Bebop Legacy; Roach’s quartet fronted by Lincoln questioning the standard jazz lines (1940 to 1960ish) of combinatory complexity, harmonic riffing, and reflex hyper-emotionalism, replaced with baser, non-baroque effusions, repetition, atonal inflections TO CALL OUT ‘standardized jazz’ with their authenticating intellectual choices and NOT subjective emotional reservoirs… THIS TV MINI CONCERT really give the 21st listener-viewer a great overview of the early 1960s experimental jazz concepts WHICH IN THE MAIN were not (in aggregate) adopted. The reason was a combination of excessive experimentation (blanking of the melody-structures) AND most traces of ANY commercial viability was seen to be cancelled out - unnecessarily so - by excessive bridges of minimalism or numbing beat repetitions. Have a listen for yourself.

At the same time, the first song reminded me of 'Strange Fruit' and Abby's pained but non-virtuosic singing is quite Billie Holiday-esque. A stunning complement to an earlier musical commentary on racism in America.

My God!!... This is amazing and beautiful!!!
I knew she was an OG in the industry when I was introduced to her as a kid in Mo' Better Blues. I assumed she was an actress like Ruby Dee and Leslie Uggams. This is my first time seeing her perform. Very nice!
I have been blessed to see a lot of the great drummers from this era, including Max. And while all of them were great guys, Max seemed to be the consummate gentleman, like he could have been a diplomat or a preacher. Never mind his amazing ability on the drums. Great and rare post. Thank you!
Find this one: 'Money Jungle' Studio album by Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, and Max Roach You're welcome.
I remember hearing Abby Lincoln on the road in Midwest ( doing “Ten Cents A Dance” and loved her completely unique voice. Got to hear her live at Madame Walker theatre in nineties- she was wonderful-love hearing her young for first time now w Max Roach et company!!!

Yes - I saw her live in 1979 in Toronto's Basin Street club. She did a stunning version of "Whistling in the Dark" that haunts me still. The material here is powerful. Gorgeous.
Did drum clinics with max roach at jacks drum shop in Boston in the fifties greats have broadcaster drums in green with gold plating. Never forgot it
The best TV spots featuring these music GREATS are -- or mostly -- come from Europe where they were respected for the excellent artists they are [were]. Just gold to have access to this...
Max Roach is TIGHT!!! ❤❤
Wow! This unique musical concert/theatre performance grabbed my attention & kept me with it to the finish. This performance from Max Roach, Abby Lincoln & his beautiful quartet is the JAWN!🥁❤️🎷🎹🎤
must be among the greatest presentations I ever saw. So beautiful and profound
Really great presentation. Dramatic scenography. Clifford Jordan is so soulful. This entire concert has so much connection to the realities of Black America.

try...in the early 60's to publish something that exemplified the intellect of the black american jazz musician...never in America...but those Europeans had a clue. This is an amazing piece...the opening lyrics alone brought me to tears...the haunting vocalizations later on held me there.

Max Roach is one of my all-time favorites. I was lucky enough to meet him in NYC. Saw him plenty of times in concert n with Abby Lincoln. Once, i spotted him attending a King Crimson concert. He is one of the giants of the 20th century.
absolutely mind blowing what a band !
当時としては独創的、前衛的な作品だったのではないのですか。 FREEDOM NOW、、、その意図が伝わってくる演奏です。 JAZZの世界を超えている。さぞ、評判になったことでしょう。 貴重な映像をありがとう。
❤ 1964? Eu estava nascendo e esses artistas já mostravam esta "linguagem" nova. Até agora é nova. Eu compreendo e sinto esta "novidade" porque a genuína e qualificada música brasileira me fez entender a Arte de verdade. / Sis Abbey e MAX Roach Quartet são fenomenais. osegala - brazilian composer. 2024 03 07
BEST "NEW" KZread VIDEO IN THE UNIVERSE
Gave me chills.
I heard it long time ago on a vinyl ,and I was stunned about it. To see, so well, it is just marvellous. And Max Roach is so clear in everything he did, so intentional and precise. A great musician as his partners.
Opening song I see, feel & agree with the anger towards all who enabled & profited from the slave trade. This is truly great art.
Great stuff! All of them!
I have this almost irresistible urge to stand up from my chair and clap and shout, "Bravo!" Quite a different performance from the vinyl. Somehow less abrasive but even more emotionally charged. Wonderful. Thank you for posting.
Je ne connaissais pas ,quelle belle surprise ❤ On est dans le génie des années 60 ,merci pour la vidéo…

They're not made like this anymore. Max Roach was superb. I know Kenny Clarke was proud of Max' contribution. I remember seeing Clifford Jordan in Meridian, Mississippi in like 1973.

@@dylangatenby9928 I agree Dylan. Max was among the groundbreaking new style drummers post WW2, like Art Blakey. Thsat changed the old swing band style to the new bop/hard-bop drumming. Never saw Max but did see Art Blakey, first time in 1959 and twice in the late 70’s, with his sublime Jazz Messengers. They were truly brilliant jazz years Dylan. Be well & Cheers!
