Bruno Mars - Earth To Mars

A crusader for civil rights, Max Roach was both lauded and highly criticized for his outspokenness. Certainly, this album reflects the personality of the master drummer in the political overtones of its title. However, Roach plays a set of music here that belies the notion that his '60s output had merely become another outlet for his political agenda. As he and his band "speak", they do so gently, with great control, elegance, and wit.  Of the two compositions heard here, the title track is an evolving 25-minute hard bop chart that winds its way into Roach's classic "The Drum Also Waltzes", a solo drum set piece. The second song, "A Variation", begins rubato but gradually morphs into a straight up swing tune.  Filled with many creative solos by Roach, Clifford Jordan (tenor sax), and Mal Waldron (piano), "SPEAK, BROTHER, SPEAK!" is superb jazz.
