Max Roach - Deeds, Not Words

"Deeds, Not Words" is an album by American jazz drummer Max Roach featuring tracks recorded in 1958 and released on the Riverside label.

This Max Roach Riverside date is notable for featuring the great young trumpeter Booker Little and for utilizing Ray Draper's tuba as a melody instrument; tenor saxophonist George Coleman and bassist Art Davis complete the excellent quintet.

Highlights include "It's You or No One," "You Stepped Out of a Dream," and Roach's unaccompanied drum piece "Conversation." This is fine music from a group that was trying to stretch themselves beyond hard bop.
