Percussion Bitter Sweet is an album by jazz drummer Max Roach recorded in 1961, released on Impulse! Records.

Review by Scott Yanow

A classic album, and one of the finest of drummer Max Roach's very productive career. The illustrious sidemen (trumpeter Booker Little; trombonist Julian Priester; Eric Dolphy on alto, bass clarinet, and flute; tenorman Clifford Jordan; pianist Mal Waldron, and bassist Art Davis, in addition to some guest percussionists) all have opportunities to make strong contributions. Dolphy's pleading alto solo on "Mendacity" is particularly memorable. Abbey Lincoln has two emotional and very effective vocals, but it is the overall sound of the ensembles and the political nature of the music that make this set (along with Roach's Freedom Now Suite) quite unique in jazz history.

En los descartes de la sesión de estudio, Coltrane grabó un movimiento con #ArchieShepp y #ArtDavis como invitados.

En esta edición especial de #ClubdeJazz escuchamos los cuatro movimientos de la suite tal y como sonaron aquella noche y explicamos los detalles detrás del descubrimiento y edición de este documento excepcional. Todo ello con la #ayuda en la sombra de nuestro colaborador Fernando Ortiz de Urbina.
