What's so exciting about your essays is how we get to learn alongside you plus how you teach us to listen. Many years ago, I received "The Complete Clifford Brown on Emarcy" (great music, lousy packaging) and reveled in the work that Brownie and Mr. Roach created (along with a dynamic band). Now, I want to go back and listen with fresh ears!
If you look up bird on savoy and dial on Wikipedia and look at the session dates, you can see all the drummers; max plays great before but when bird returns from Camarillo in 1947, every recording after that max is on a different plane. Songs like klactovetedstein, bongo beep, Dewey square, driftin on a reed his comping is insane. Also check out max with James moody on maximum and ham and haig you can hear him playing how he does on the treble drums without the tuning
