"We've had to create to survive in a hostile society"
Real talk this guy speaks the truth

Luke Nash I agree with you. We are now spinning around, now, because we are depending on others to provide for us.
Thanks,
Henry

one of the best drummers of all time.. i love it!

[@jigthepuff4540]

When I was a young kid and started drumming, I knew jazz had the type of drumming I wanted to learn. It was the 80’s so I turned the radio on and heard Max playing a solo. I never heard anything like it. Within a month I bought a cassette of his music. He has been my drumming idol since. Everything about Max exhibits class.

I agree with Max. Words can liberate and elevate or they may incarcerate and denigrate. Max is the most.

peep the hair coming out of his earss

I'm a big Max fan. But he's pressing that race button a bit too hard. He himself was a strong fan of Shelly Manne... there are omparison videos on TH-cam showing the direct adaption by MJ of many of Fred Astarte's moves.. in some cases his whole routine. whole

[@jibsmokestack1]

Pressing that race? Did he say that Shelly can’t play? He is talking about his people, deal with it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable that says a lot about you.

Max was always in the politics; like the time he picketed (indoors) at the Miles-Gil concert at Carnegie Hall, where he felt (knew) the funds from the charitable event were going to be misused. Flash forward to Live Aid in 1986, where less than 5% of the fund raiser reached those in need. Now we have Bono shilling for thieves ! Yes, Max had the vision!

[@drowdaba]

maybe cos they _made_ that music? 🤦🏾 do sum research

[@bonmot7850]

Which white folks are we talking about? Not the ones who invented pianos and saxophones and double basses and record players, right?
