Max Roach (Jan 10 '24- Aug 16 '07) • A digital collage I made in 2007 to honor the legendary jazz drummer who was denied work because of his views on freedom. His contract rider from the '70s sits at the top of the collage reading: "Max Roach shall not be required to perform before any audience which is segregated on the basis of race, color, or creed..." In 1961, he staged a one-man protest during a Miles performance because the concert was a benefit for an org who supported the apartheid regime in South Africa. #jazz #blacklivesmatter #freedomfighter #rise #freedomnowsuite #weinsist #freedom
