Jazz for Malcolm X


Haven't heard this one in a while. "Mr. X" is Max Roach's tribute to Malcom, recorded in 1956. Already in the mid to late 1950s, one could see a shift in Max Roach's political orientation and views on the Civil Rights Movement, which included his admiration of Malcolm X and some forms of black nationalism.
