轉錄Downbeat的報導
Max Roach, whose pioneering bebop drumming was revered for its tenacity and
musicality, died Wednesday night in his sleep. He was 83.
Roach is considered one of the most important and influential jazz drummers
of all time. His work with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker first thrust
him into the jazz spotlight during the mid-'40s. At this time, Roach drew on
the style of Kenny Clarke to advance new approaches to drumming, including
the use of the bass drum as a comping instrument and a more melodic style of
soloing.
Roach recorded with Miles Davis for his groundbreaking Birth Of The Cool
sessions, and later he and trumpeter Clifford Brown led an influential
hard-bop quintet. Beginning in the '60s, Roach pursued a range of more
avant-garde and eclectic projects, performing with such artists as Cecil
Taylor and Anthony Braxton.
Roach garnered numerous awards throughout his robust career, including an
induction into the DownBeat Hall of Fame in 1980 and a MacArthur "genius
grant" in 1981. He also joined the faculty at the University of Massachusetts
at Amherst in 1972.
In recent years, Roach had become less active due to hydrocephalus-related
complications. He was living in New York at the time of his death. DownBeat
will report more details of Roach's passing as they become available.
