Birth and Rebirth

Birth and Rebirth is an album by American jazz drummer Max Roach and saxophonist Anthony Braxton. It was recorded in 1978 for the Italian Black Saint label.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Braxton (who performs on alto, soprano, sopranino and clarinet) and Roach continually inspire each other, which is probably why they would record a second set the following year. Stimulating avant-garde music."
