    Released: 1954
    Genre: Jazz
    Style: Bop

    The 1955 album by the Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet was 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”.

    This album for mine is one of completeness. Upon hearing the album right through I had the sensation of how great it was and I went straight back flipped it back to side 1 and played it through again! In glorious MONO.
