Max Roach Quintet Long As You're Living (1960)

Live-album, opgenomen in 1960 in Kaiserslautern. 'Although the playing of The Turrentines is not at the same innovative level as Roach's prior group with Booker Little and George Coleman, they come up with consistently fresh statements during the well-rounded set and the tenorman was already instantly recognizable. Highlights include a couple of Roach drum features, two Kenny Dorham compositions ("Lotus Blossom," "The Villa") and "Night in Tunisia.". (Scott Yanow, Allmusic).
