New Vinyl Record - Percussion Bitter Sweet (Verve Vault Series)

Percussion Bittersweet, released in 1961 on Impulse! Records, is one of preeminent jazz drummer Max Roach’s most politically charged and musically expansive recordings. Recorded over two days in September 1960 at Universal Studios in Chicago, the record reflects Roach’s deepening engagement with themes of social justice and Pan-African identity. The ensemble features trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, and tuba innovator Ray Draper, alongside Roach’s own commanding blend of cymbal textures, mallets, and explosive rhythmic detail. The inclusion of vocalist Abbey Lincoln — Roach’s artistic and political partner at the time — adds urgency and emotional power to the project’s most pointed statements. While not formally structured as a suite, the album’s six tracks move fluidly between spiritual lament, militant swing, and improvisational abstraction. The opening piece, “Garvey’s Ghost,” sets the tone with Afro-Caribbean rhythmic undercurrents, while “Mendacity” takes aim at hypocrisy with biting horn lines and Lincoln’s dramatic delivery. Elsewhere, “Mama” and “Praise for a Martyr” explore personal and collective grief through dynamic interplay and modal intensity.

Side A
1. Garvey’s Ghost
2. Mama
3. Tender Warriors

Side B
1. Praise For A Martyr
2. Mendacity
3. Man From South Africa

Delightful Addition to My Bathroom!
Size: 3' (Round), Color: Light Blue, Size: 3' (Round), Color: Light Blue
I absolutely love this bath rug! The color is beautiful, and it is incredibly soft underfoot. What truly sets it apart for me is the round shape—it is such a refreshing and stylish change from the standard square or rectangular mats. I actually love the look and feel of it so much that I purchased a second one and placed them side by side. It creates a wonderful, unique aesthetic in the room. Highly recommended!

Excellent Rug & Unbeatable Customer Service!
Size: 6 x 8 ft Rectangle, Color: White
I absolutely love this rug! It has completely transformed my living room—it looks surprisingly glam and feels wonderfully soft underfoot. The feature that really sold me was that it's fully washable. I was nervous about cleaning it, but the process was surprisingly easy. I strongly recommend skipping the dryer and letting it air dry. I simply hung mine over my shower door, and it was completely dry overnight. I used a brush to gently separate the fibers, leaving it looking just as vibrant and feeling just as soft as it did when new. Additionally, I had an interaction with their customer support team, and they were fantastic. They responded to my inquiry quickly, were respectful, and resolved my issue completely and professionally. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a beautiful, practical, and soft rug with stellar customer service backing it up. Five stars!

Soft but no cushion
Size: 2' x 8' (Runner), Color: White
This rug is nice and soft but too thin for me. It’s very beautiful, it’s soft and fluffy but not enough cushion for my taste
