★Jazz Masterpieces★ Max Roach, Chico Hamilton, Gato Barbieri - 4 Album Set

★Here are four classic albums of Afro, Latin, and Spiritual Jazz, offered as a set★

① "We Insist!" Japanese pressing, no obi
※ The jacket has bumped corners and some scratches, and there are tape marks on the inside of the jacket. The liner notes have a small tear, but the record itself is clean and in good condition.

This is a monumental protest and message music collaboration between "fighting spirit drummer" Max Roach and poet Oscar Brown, who also inspired Gil Scott-Heron. An immortal masterpiece that is being re-recognized with the Black Lives Matter movement. Released in 1961.
This work is an Afro-jazz album featuring Nigerian percussionist Babatunde Olatunji, who made his American debut in 1960, and Coleman Hawkins, as well as a vocal album featuring Abbey Lincoln, who was Roach's wife at the time. The other members are regular members of the Roach Quintet at the time, but it was during the period when the tragically short-lived genius trumpet player Booker Little was a member, and all songs were composed by Roach. With Abbey Lincoln's powerful vocals, it's a work that anticipated psychedelic, hard rock, progressive rock, and jazz rock featuring horn sections, with Jefferson Airplane and other female singers at the forefront.

② "Percussion Bitter Sweet" Japanese pressing, no obi
※ Both the jacket and the record are clean and in good condition. The explanatory notes have some stains.
Eric Dolphy participates. This is a 1961 work, the last recording before Booker Little's death. Similar to the previous work "We Insist!", it features Afro percussion and further pushes Afro groove, developing polyrhythmic and spiritual performances. From A1, dedicated to Marcus Garvey, the hero of the Jamaican black liberation movement, an overwhelming black ensemble unfolds, and the entire album is a concept album that appeals to the excitement of the black liberation movement.
