‘Jazz is a Very Democratic Musical Form’ — Max Roach Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Literary Tee — Classic Tee

“Jazz is a very democratic musical form. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.” Max Roach — who helped invent bebop in the 1940s and cut We Insist! Freedom Now Suite in 1960 — held this as a standing conviction. He heard the bandstand as a working model of democracy: each instrument sovereign, each player accountable to the whole, beauty made by the balance between them.
