This single, mid-price CD on the new Essential Jazz Classics series includes the complete albums “Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street” & “Sonny Rollins Plus Four”. At the very end of 1955, Sonny Rollins replaced Harold Land in the outstanding Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet. Rollins’ style proved a perfect fit for the group’s extraordinary equilibrium between fast (and we mean really fast!) tunes and delicate, romantic, ballads, all combined with careful arrangements (mostly written by pianist Richie Powell).

However, this fantastic formation was destined to end in tragedy, for in the early morning hours of June 26, 1956, Clifford Brown died in a car accident (at the age of 25) along with pianist Richie Powell. In the short time between Rollins’ arrival and Brownie’s death, the group had the chance to enter the recording studios on three occasions. The results of those three sessions –the quintet’s only official legacy- originally appeared on these two studio albums (the Basin Street album was not recorded live at that club). The line-up is : Clifford Brown (tp), Sonny Rollins (ts), Richie Powell (p), George Morrow (b) and Max Roach (d).

Reviews
Jazzwise - Keith Shadwick
After 50 years of consistent acclamation the music therein hardly needs my further endorsement. If you ain't got it, get it. Got it?
