Written By: Philip Eno on 08/17/07 at 5:34 am
From BBC News Online:
Legendary jazz drummer Max Roach, best known for creating the fast-paced bebop style, has died in New York aged 83.
His record label, Blue Note, said it was saddened by the death of a man it described as "an unmistakable force on numerous classic recordings".
Fellow musician Quincy Jones said: "Thank God he left a piece of his soul on his recordings so that we'll always have a part of him with us."
No cause of death was given for the star, who died in his sleep.

Yes, one of the greatest jazz muscians of all time and a one of the prime shapers of the be-bop sound. Max Roach is on the jazz Mount Olympus with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Bud Powell, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis...and the list goes on.
When these jazz greats die, nobody can replace them.
