Description
Clifford Brown / Max Roach Quintet 'At Basin Street' plus bonus album 'Sonny Rollins Plus Four', includes a 28-page booklet with new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and by Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

"There is no sign here that the music is rehearsed to the point that spontaneity is lost. On the contrary, each arrangement is worked to a point that actually propels the soloists, gives them - and Brown particularly - maximum lift. These are classics of modern jazz." - Penguin Guide To Jazz

"Gathered around the trumpet legend Clifford Brown, young saxophonist Sonny Rollins (26 at the time), who would soon inscribe his name in the firmament of jazz history, delivered a fiery and flamboyant performance that perfectly complemented the trumpeter's vibrant, mellifluous sound." - Jazz Magazine

Description
Limited edition 180g blue coloured vinyl + 1 bonus track.

"January 4, 1956: Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Richie Powell and George Morrow met up in a New York studio to record At Basin Street, which would be the group's final album. That summer, Clifford Brown and Richie Powell died in a tragic car accident. This final testimony is one of the most exciting records from a quintet which was like very few others." - Jazz Magazine

"Each arrangement is worked to a point that actually propels the soloists, gives them - and Brown particularly - maximum lift. These are classics of modern jazz." - Penguin Guide To Jazz

"Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street reemphasizes the loss jazz suffered when Clifford and Richie Powell died. Energetic, full-bodied jazz. Thoroughly recommended." -John A. Tynan, DownBeat
