I had the pleasure of knowing Max. We met sometime around 1957 when his
quintet with Clifford Brown played at the Teenage Jazz Club at
Storyville in Boston (I was a teenager), then again at the Lenox School
of Jazz in 1960. I was with Max in Sandpoint, Idaho on the day he
received a MacArthur grant. We enjoyed a celebratory dinner that I
remember for the pleasure he took in having received the honor and the
sense of generosity he conveyed at the same time.
My appreciation of him and his music has grown as my experience grows.
I had only a small relationship with Max, but the feeling of personal
loss is great.

Though I'm an enormous fan of Clifford and all of his band, I am not old
enough to have seen them play live. I envy you. Never got to hear Max
Roach or any of the others live, either. :(
