11/3: MAX ROACH – THE DRUM ALSO WALTZES (TV).  This documentary from Public Broadcasting’s “American Masters” series traces the career and legacy of bebop pioneer, virtuoso percussionist and bandleader Max Roach. Roach’s far-reaching ambitions were inspired and challenged by the inequities of the society around him. His political consciousness, expressed in his groundbreaking Freedom Suite and other works, made him a fierce advocate for change during the American civil rights movement and beyond. 11:00pm, PBS-Wisconsin (a.k.a. Wisconsin Public TV).
