We Insist! (Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite) stands as a landmark in jazz history, uniting the visionary drumming of Max Roach with the passionate vocals of Abbey Lincoln, iconic saxophone from Coleman Hawkins, and powerful African rhythms by Babatunde Olatunji. Originally released in 1961, this groundbreaking suite was conceived as a strong, artistic response to the call for civil rights, blending sharply focused improvisation with deep social commentary.
Revered for its intensity and innovation, We Insist! merges gospel-inflected vocals, dynamic group interplay, and urgent political themes to create a riveting listening experience. This edition features the original MONO mix, skillfully remastered from the original master tapes, allowing listeners to experience the work much as it was first heard—raw, direct, and profoundly moving.
