One of the seminal works of jazz as protest, "We Insist! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite,” was first released in 1961 by Max Roach in collaboration with Abbey Lincoln and lyricist Oscar Brown, Jr. on Candid Records. In honor of Roach's centennial, GRAMMY-Award Winning drummer-producer Terri Lyne Carrington has recorded the "Freedom Now Suite,” paying homage to Roach and Lincoln's legacy by sonically reimagining the suite, while being steadfast with the still poignant social justice message - We Insist! Continuing her work honoring jazz traditions, Carrington acknowledges Roach's legacy and its continued relevance to today's fight for freedom in order to bring forth a new story of jazz's future.
