Review
Down Beat (5/93, p.45) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "...compositionally, Roach was surveying a new plateau....PERCUSSION BITTER SWEET is also an excellent soloist's forum, where topnotch work from Clifford Jordan, Julian Priester, and Mal Waldron is the base line..."
JazzTimes (5/93, p.62) - "...Max Roach was truly flexing his considerable muscles both as seminal percussionist and potent musical political commentator....one of the strongest, most well-rounded ensembles he has ever recorded..."
Musician (5/93, p.92) - "...every Max flam is a blow… Read More against cultural subservience, each Dolphy squeal a taunt at repressive power structures....one of Roach's masterworks...
