M'Boom - Re: Percussion (1977) [24bit FLAC]

AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
Other than a Japanese release for Baystate in 1973, this CD contains the initial recording by Max Roach's all-percussion unit M'Boom. Featured on the nine selections (all group originals, other than Thelonious Monk's "Epistrophy") are up to eight players, including Roach, Roy Brooks, Joe Chambers, Omar Clay, Fred King, Ray Mantilla, Warren Smith and Freddie Waits, utilizing all types of percussion instruments -- vibes, tympani, chimes, timbales, marimba, xylophone, and so on. The colorful sounds are full of surprises, and the music is both consistently stimulating and quite accessible.
