We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite, co-authored by Max Roach and Oscar Brown, J. was a pivotal work in the early-'60s African-American protest movement, and continues to be relevant in its message and tenacity. It represents a lesson in living as to how the hundreds of years prior were an unnecessary example of how oppression kept slaves and immigrants in general in their place.

Max Roach’s ambitious We Insist! appeared in 1960, just as the civil rights movement was entering its crucial phase. The album’s mixture of modern jazz, African rhythms and sparse but powerful lyrics (contributed to Oscar Brown J. still has the ability to unsettle and inspire. Its compositions take a critical view of American history from the slavery era onwards, broadening into a larger cry for justice on the African continent.

Engineer – Bob D'Orleans. Liner Notes – A. Philip Randolph. Masses of Negroes are marching onto the stage of history and demanding their freedom now!" -A Philip Randolph What this album is saying is that FREEDOM DAY is coming in many places, and those working for it mean to make it stick. In 1937, a Negro who still remembered slavery spoke of what it was like in 1865

Notes

Recorded in August 1960, the year in which black Americans' struggle for civil rights reached critical mass, We Insist! was the first of several jazz-as-protest albums explicitly to voice the growing demand for equal rights. Conceived as a suite by Roach, its composer and arranger, the album features a shifting cast of players, with only Roach and singer Abbey Lincoln heard throughout. Three of the five tracks feature lyrics by Oscar Brown Jr., sung by Lincoln, who is joined on "All Africa" by Nigerian conga player Michael Olatunji. Veteran tenor saxophone legend Coleman Hawkins makes a powerful statement in "Driva' Man", which also features stirring solos from trumpeter Booker Little, trombonist Julian Priester and tenor saxophonist Walter Benton. The ensemble's focus is razor sharp throughout, honed by Roach's virtuosic drumming, and Abbey Lincoln's screams during his husband's drum solo in "Triptych: Prayer / Protest / Peace" will send chills down your spine. One of the all-time 'free jazz' classics finally available again!
