Brown and Roach Incorporated
The complete classic album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition 180g audiophile pressing. Recorded at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles in August 1954, this was the first Emarcy recording of the legendary Clifford Brown & Max Roach Quintet featuring the great Harold Land on tenor sax, Richie Powell on piano and George Morrow on bass.
Artist: Clifford Brown & Max Roach
Genre: Jazz
Label: Waxtime
Release date:
Under the direction of two modern Jazz masters, trumpeter Clifford Brown and drummer Max Roach, the quintet shines through a fine set of classic standards, including Edgar Sampson's 'Stompin' at the Savoy' (often wrongly attributed to Benny Goodman), Cole Porter's 'I Get a Kick out of You', plus two Brown-Roach originals.
The New York Times described the Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet as perhaps the definitive bop group until Mr. Brown's fatal automobile accident in 1956.
This LP contains their second album in its entirety plus quartet songs recorded by Brown in France in 1953, added as a bonus.
About the artist
The partnership between Roach and Brown began after Roach invited Brown in New York City to join him in creating a band. Brown and Roach together selected additional musicians to comprise the quintet from among the jazz musicians currently active in Hollywood. The band's early line-ups included Sonny Stitt, Teddy Edwards, Carl Perkins and George Bledsoe, but by the time the first of these sessions was recorded in August 1954, they had been replaced by the more long-term line-up of George Morrow, Harold Land and Richie Powell, the brother of jazz luminary Bud Powell. The band was prominent in the jazz scene; Land, brought in when predecessor Edwards declined to tour with the group, experienced an enormous increase in his reputation in the jazz world, while Land's successor (Sonny Rollins) would be springboarded by the visible position into superstardom.
