Citas de Max Roach

• Nunca volveré a tocar nada que no tenga un significado social. Los músicos de jazz estadounidenses de ascendencia africana hemos demostrado más allá de toda duda que somos músicos maestros de nuestros instrumentos. Ahora lo que tenemos que hacer es emplear nuestra habilidad para contar la dramática historia de nuestro pueblo y por lo que hemos pasado.

• Creo que las secciones rítmicas, los baterías en particular, son los héroes incógnitos de la música. Es la sección rítmica la que ha cambiado los estilos de una época a otra.

• You can't write the same book twice. Though I've been in historical musical situations, I can't go back and do that again. And though I run into artistic crises, they keep my life interesting.

• They had all this talent, and they had no instruments. So they started rap music. They rhymed on their own. They made their own sounds and their own movements.

• I used to take musical instruments home from elementary school. There were some music teachers there - we all learned instruments. A lot of us got started in public schools. Charlie Parker and Bud Powell, for example. But now there are no more music teachers in public elementary schools. It's like (Senator) Moynihan said, 'benign neglect.' Just let it rot and fester.
