Description
Clifford Brown and Max Roach, premier 1950's jazz (bop) ensemble. Brown (trumpet), Roach (drums).
Reissue in 1970 of 1955 Polygram Records Japanese recording. EXPR-1033.
Album cover has black marking on back top and bottom of album cover - see picture. Inner sleeve is not paper.
Described by The New York Times as "perhaps the definitive bop group until Mr. Brown's fatal automobile accident in 1956". The album was critically well-received and includes several notable tracks, including two that have since become jazz standards. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. It is included in Jazz: A Critic's Guide to the 100 Most Important Recordings at #34, where it is described by New York Times jazz critic Ben Ratliff as "one of the strongest studio albums up to that time".
The majority of the sessions that comprise this album were recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood in August 1954. Two of the tracks were recorded in February 1955 at Capitol Studios in New York City.
This reissue adds the last song, What Am I Here For.
