Drums Unlimited: A Tribute to Max Roach at The Iron Horse on Friday, November 1 2024

Genuine Culture, LLC presents Drums Unlimited: A Tribute to Max Roach, a celebration of one of the most innovative drummers in jazz history. Join us on Friday, November 1, 2024, at the iconic Iron Horse Music Hall in downtown Northampton for a one-night-only event honoring the legendary Max Roach on his centennial.

Max Roach revolutionized the role of drums in music, and his influence spans across jazz, hip-hop, and beyond. In this special tribute, three world-class drummers—Colin Jalbert, Dwayne Keith, and Jonathan Barber—will each take the stage for a 30-minute solo set, showcasing their unique styles and influences, from jazz and hip-hop to broken beat, soul, world, and house music. These solo sets are a direct nod to Roach's own groundbreaking series of solo concerts, celebrating the endless creative possibilities of rhythm and percussion.

The night doesn't stop with the live drumming. DJ Rec will be spinning the finest jazz and hip-hop tracks, highlighting the deep connection between these genres and the legacy of Max Roach. 

This is more than a concert—it's a celebration of Max Roach's lasting impact on music and culture. Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience an unforgettable night of rhythm, innovation, and community at one of the region's best venues.
