Max Roach at his boldest and most boundary pushing. Percussion Bitter Sweet is explosive, political and overflowing with ideas, the kind of record where every drum hit feels like a statement and every arrangement comes at you sideways. Roach leads a killer lineup through fiery pieces that bridge hard bop, avant garde and the early stirrings of spiritual jazz. A proper landmark restored through the Verve Vault Series.
