Northampton Jazz Festival, Film

June 15 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT

Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes explores the life and music of the legendary drummer, composer, bandleader, and social activist through a remarkable series of creative peaks, struggles, and personal reinventions—from the Jim Crow era to the Civil Rights years, surveying the heady days of post-war modern jazz to hip hop and beyond.

We are honored to have an exclusive East Coast screening of this remarkable film that explores the life and music of the legendary drummer, composer, bandleader, and social activist. We will welcome multi award-winning director Sam Pollard along with NEPM’s Tom Reney to lead the discussion following the screening.
