Doug, you're just the guy to be feting the life and work of Max Roach. I'm looking forward to hearing what you put on the table.

I Want GIULIO CAPIOZZO QUARTET!!!!

Fri. 8/17/07 9:21am From: Paul Sherratt

It may be best to avoid " Two Bugs & A Roach " ... well on this week's programme at least !

Thanks very much for this Doug....very comforting to hear the man's tunes celebrated.

Beautiful to hear Max in a duo setting, too. He could pretty much do any format, coudn't he? I got the one he did with Anthony Braxton which might be a interesting choice if you want to explore further that side of his many talents. High time to give the Drummer some, right?

Fri. 8/17/07 10:31am From: Doug

Hugo, you read my mind. Max with Braxton is cued up on turntable #1!

We ain't nothing but good readers!

And now: Say aah Brother! I had to get that one thanks to you. You read me there!

This is an absolutely beautiful and powerful piece. Thank you so much for playing it. Only you, only on WFMU am I likely to have been blessed with this LOVE PIECE.

Fri. 8/17/07 10:57am From: Jason Das

Thanks so much for this, Doug. If he had to go, I guess I'm glad it was on a Thursday ... just in time for you to put the show together, but while the feeling is still raw with all of us who loved Max.

After this, back to WKCR, which I think is all Max til next Wedneday or so.

Evelyn, I wish I could play it every week. Sorry I could only fit an excerpt from it on today's show. To hear the whole thing, check it out on the archive from my show on May 4, 2007: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/22949

Fri. 8/17/07 11:22am From: Julie

I can't hear this interview. Is it just me or is this very muffled?

Fri. 8/17/07 11:29am From: Doug

Julie,
So sorry about the condition. This cassette is in pretty bad shape.

Fri. 8/17/07 11:29am From: north guinea hills

thanks for the interview!

Fri. 8/17/07 11:34am From: Sean

You should transfer that interview to something more durable or an electronic format. Maybe a sound engineer could clean it up, too.

Fri. 8/17/07 11:38am From: Doug

I burned it onto a CD this morning, but didn't have time to do any remedial services. Of course, I shoulda done this years ago, but...

Fri. 8/17/07 11:40am From: Sean

Well, you think on some level that guys like Max Roach are going to be around forever and then one day, suddenly, they're not.

Fri. 8/17/07 11:53am From: Marc

Bless you Bruddah!

Fri. 8/17/07 11:58am From: Hugo

Thanks for the interview! Came through quite well on these speakers at least. Can't avoid the inevitable tape hiss, but that just adds to the historical significance of this document.

Fri. 8/17/07 12:00pm From: Evelyn

Thanks for the follow up info. Great show.

Fri. 8/17/07 12:02pm From: Cort

This sounded fine on my headphones here at work. Fascinating. Thanks for airing this!

Fri. 8/17/07 12:06pm From: Paul Sherratt

The interview sounded just perfect

Fri. 8/17/07 2:35pm From: Bob DuCharme

Great to see the archive version posted so quickly--if I have a busy Friday morning and want to listen to the show uninterrupted (and be able to hit pause when I am interrupted), I'll wait to listen, and it's great that the wait is so short.
