• Max Roach reformed his piano-less group Max Roach Plus Four in 1959. This time he put his trust in a band of young jazzmen that included the Turrentine brothers—Stanley and Tommy, on tenor sax and trumpet respectively— trombonist Julian Priester, bassist Bob Boswell and, occasionally, pianists Ray Bryant or Cedar Walton.

• This 2-CD set gathers the complete studio recordings this group made (except one issued under Tommy Turrentine’s name) between July 1959 and January 1960, thus giving new life to one of the least known periods in the drummer’s intense jazz career. In addition, the songs featuring Abbey Lincoln catch this exceptional singer in fine form.
