Sorry, the correct title is We Insist! Freedom Now Suite. (Max Roach).

Yeah, and her man Max Roach.
Those musicians of that day were all something else. They weren't selling cupcakes. They kicked down all the doors and came in shooting.
I Hope that she enjoyed her life. She had a pretty wild selection of friends to go along with it to be sure.

Yeah man, Roach! Of course :) Well, she lived a long time and saw many incredible things (good and bad). She made great contributions to music.
