Legendary Albums 1954-56

Clifford Brown was a jazz trumpeter who built a formidable reputation in his short career before his tragic death in a car crash at the age of 25 in 1956. During the last two years of his life he collaborated regularly with drummer Max Roach, a bebop pioneer seven years his senior, who had played with many legendary names. They recorded a significant number of sessions for Mercury’s Emarcy label, which resulted in several album releases, and we have selected four of the most highly-regarded and significant of those from which to feature recordings. This 27-track 2-CD collection features the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet and comprises all but one of the titles from the originally-released versions of the albums “Clifford Brown & Max Roach” (original 10” version), “Brown And Roach Incorporated”, “Study In Brown” and “At Basin Street”. The first three albums feature Harold Land (tenor sax), Richie Powell (piano) and George Morrow (bass) with Brown & Roach, and on “At Basin Street” Sonny Rollins replaces Harold Land. The two stars achieved a close and productive musical rapport, and these recordings, ranging across jazz standards and original compositions, are an excellent testimony to their distinctive talents and make for thoroughly entertaining listening.
