"Essa insônia agonizante que de forma inconveniente me consome toda santa noite... mas foda-se o que os outros acham, acharão ou podem achar, assim como o rio seguimos o fluxo dos descontentes e desorientados da mesma forma como sempre fomos."

"This agonizing insomnia that inconveniently consumes me every holy night ... but fuck what others think, will find, or can find, just as the river follows the flow of the disgruntled and disoriented just as we always have been."

About "The Drum Also Waltzes:

"Played in 3/4 over a consistent foot ostinato, there are no repeats. Max plays a repeated motif but it also varies. The one bar foot pattern consists of the bass drum on ‘1’, the high hat on ‘2’ and a rest on ‘3’. It remains virtually unchanged throughout. Get comfortable playing basic rolls and sticking patterns around the kit with the foot ostinato.

Max plays it fairly freely with some sections a little ambiguous and bit of a challenge to transcribe. I think septuplets and quintuplets from bars 160 are a fair interpretation. I’m open to any other suggestions or fixes."

Max Roach:

Maxwell Lemuel Roach (January 10, 1924 – August 16, 2007)
was an American jazz drummer and composer.
A pioneer of bebop, he worked in many other styles of music, and is generally considered alongside the most important drummers in history.
He worked with many famous jazz musicians, including Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Abbey Lincoln, Dinah Washington, Charles Mingus, Billy Eckstine, Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, Eric Dolphy, and Booker Little. He was inducted into the DownBeat Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 1992.

Roach also led his own groups, most notably a pioneering quintet co-led with trumpeter Clifford Brown and the percussion ensemble M'Boom. He made numerous musical statements relating to the civil rights movement

lyrics

Acreditamos durante muito tempo nas coisas intrínsecas ainda mais agora em épocas confusas em nossa sociedade pós moderna, em minha medíocre existência sempre fui um desajustado social e nunca conseguia me encaixar em algum grupo ou lugar em que eu estava, mas revendo tudo de relance e reanalisando a minha pobre infância (e boa parte da vida adulta) pois o que sinto nesse exato momento é que, temos algo muito maior para realizar e nada nessa existência é por acaso, coisas boas e ruins sempre irão nos atentar mas elas fazem parte desse processo que é o crescimento, amadurecimento creio que tudo tenha um sentindo (poético ou não) e cada um tem sua missão, algo espiritual/religioso que fara algum sentindo para nossa existência plena hoje, agora ou mais tarde… cada sintoma, seja ele de melancolia de alegria ou momentos de profunda tristeza devemos agradecer pois estamos tendo o privilégio de trabalhar e expor essas emoções e mágoas que falam e ficam guardadas por muito tempo dentro do nosso ser, portanto agradeça por poder senti-las e expressa-las, por poder expurga-las e jorrar para fora, pois são crescimento espiritual, situações de autoconhecimento e desenvolvimento de si mesmo e isso faz bem!
