Max Roach came out of the Bop era and on 'It's Time' he takes again the Civil Rights themes of his previous album Percussion Bitter Sweet and applies a choir to them., giving his musical and political thrust an almost godly urgency. Here the musical and the political are impossible to separate and Max Roach uses these voices to provoke and discomfort us. Abbey Lincoln is featured as vocal soloist on the lp's last track.
