Amiri Baraka speaking about Max Roach on Democracy Now on 27 August 2007: "I did a gig with him and Archie Shepp in Philadelphia one time, and I came there with all my poetry, and he says to me, "No, no, you can't read anything. You've got to do what we do. We're going to improvise. You have to improvise." I said, "Oh, my god! This is going to be wild."
