Check out this wonderful tribute/obit on jazz legend Max Roach (who died in mid-August) from Do The Math, The Bad Plus blog. It details Roach's style in in not-too-academic shorthand with links to musical examples.
I shouldn't need to provide a connection to the Celebrity Series to justify this post, but for those keeping score (probably just me), Ethan Iverson, of The Bad Plus, is Mark Morris' former music director. And, yes, he is "fabulous."
