It begins with a survey of Sonny Rollins collaborations with Max (81 minutes), then takes a relaxing visit to the Royal Roost to hear the Charlie Parker Quintet in live performance (18 minutes), and finally over an hour of selections of Max Roach as a sideman on recordings from the late 1940's bebop era, by Dexter Gordon, Allan Eager, J.J.
