Talk:Max Roach

Exact date of death
One obit said he died in a New York hospital, not at home

Multiple articles say he died "late Wednesday" which is August 15, not August 16 - apparently from the NY Times saying "Early yesterday" implying Thursday. Your death date is in doubt. [J Bagwell]
 * Depending on the author, "late Wednesday" may mean after midnight... Rklawton 14:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Source for saying death is Wednesday - http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20070816/BREAKING05/70816023 which says:

The self-taught musical prodigy died Wednesday night at an undisclosed hospital in Manhattan, said Cem Kurosman, spokesman for Blue Note Records, one of Roach's labels. No additional details were available, he said. Jtbagwelljr 14:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * No doubt about the wording - just its interpretation. Rklawton 14:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually it was definitely August 16, 2007, 03:00AM in the morning, not in a hospital but at a Hospice in Manhattan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.27.196.76 (talk) 18:48, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Lifted from All About Jazz
A lot of this article is lifted word for word from Max Roach's bio on allboutjazz.com, which has no cites. Pretty lazy...

Links
Link to Neil Peart is incorrect, leads to search for "Neil Peart's". 65.119.3.129 16:48, 23 August 2007 (UTC)JBarber 8/23/07 9.49am

Percussion Discussion
The article mentions that Percussion Discussion was released by Debut and cites a page which makes no reference to this. As far as I can see Debut closed almost ten years before Percussion Discussion was released. Can someone reword this? --103.44.33.104 (talk) 23:28, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
