It was six a.m.‚ and the buzzing of the alarm clock was all that could be heard throughout my room. It was time for me to wake up and prepare myself for school. I slowly dragged my feet across the floor towards the dresser‚ dreading what Soph‚ Liv‚ and Lex had planned for me that day. Were they going to make fun of my clothes‚ “accidentally” spill food in my hair‚ or even worse‚ make fun of me not having a dad anymore… again? Losing him four years ago when I was ten was bad enough for me‚ but the

Clifford Brown and Max Roach "Clifford Brown and Max Roach" was the first recording of a quintet that changed jazz. It was tragically short lived; Clifford Brown and pianist Richie Powell (Bud’s brother) were to die in the same car crash within two years of the album’s release‚ an event that affected Max Roach for years to come.
