"This set has the earliest documented performances of the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet. Trumpeter Brown and drummer Roach, along with tenor-saxophonist Teddy Edwards, pianist Carl Perkins and bassist George Bledsoe, perform four numbers including hot versions of "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm" and Edwards's "Sunset Eyes." In addition there is a later set with the permanent lineup of the Quintet: Brown, Roach, tenorman Harold Land, pianist Richie Powell and bassist George Morrow. Together they play "Jordu," Brown's
feature on "I Can't Get Started" and versions of "I Get a Kick Out of
You" and "Parisian Thoroughfare" that are both heated and colorful. This
is a very rewarding and somewhat historic release of high-quality
straightahead jazz from one of the great hard bop bands." AMGCovers are from Discogs, but the rip is a fresh one from me
