Max Roach Quartet
Blues Alley
Washington, DC
03-02-81

Nice show of the Max Roach Quartet that I saw. The Blues Alley crowd was much more raucous than usual and Max was having a good time also. He told jokes and dealt with hecklers with good nature. He signed the Freedom Now Suite album for me. From my master tape.

Enjoy
