Abbey Lincoln's raw, wordless vocals on \"Triptych\" remain one of the most viscerally powerful moments in recorded jazz history. Oscar Brown Jr. contributed lyrics rooted in the experience of enslavement, making this one of the most explicitly political statements any jazz musician had committed to wax up to that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoach vowed after it's release that he would never again play music that is not socially relevant and told Down Beat magazine, \"We American jazz musicians of African descent have proved beyond all doubt that we're master musicians of our instruments. Now what we have to do is employ our skill to tell the dramatic story of our people and what we've been through.\" The album inspired Roach to broaden his scope as a composer and collaborate with choreographers, filmmakers, and playwrights. The LP includes extraordinary liner notes written by Hentoff himself, giving a context and insight that adds to the experience of hearing these magnificent performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Driva' Man\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Freedom Day\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. All Africa\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Tears For Johannesburg\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 708857300211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.21.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candid (CJM 8002)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1961  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Driva' Man – 5:10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Freedom Day – 6:02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Triptych: Prayer,  Protest,  Peace – 7:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 All Africa – 7:57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Tears For Johannesburg – 9:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Schenck – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBabatunde Olatunji – Congas (Conga Drums)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Roach – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob d'Orleans – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClaude Rie – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Mantilla – Percussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTomas du Vall – Percussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHugh Bell (2) – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Bacon (2) – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA.
