Mercury/ EmArcy MG-36037: Clifford Brown & Max Roach– A Study In Brown Personnel Clifford Brown (tr); Harold Land (ts); Richie Powell (p); George Morrow (b); Max Roach (dr) Tracks Cherokee; Jacqui; Swingin’; Lands End; George’s Dilemma; Sandu; Gerkin For Perkin; If I Love Again; Take the “A” Train From the very first second, beginning with the magic drumming of Max Roach, right up to the very last note, this LP will overwhelm listeners with its sheer power – hard bop is certainly no easy fare for lovers of beautiful sounds. One is swept along in a maelstrom into the unknown, and is taken to wherever the soloist’s wealth of ideas leads him. That’s particularly clear in the case of Caravan, Lands End, and Gerkin’ For Perkin: the brilliantly interacting quartet, all of them soloists with “equal rights”, race through the numbers like an express train. The trumpet and the tenor sax – often playing unisono – are not placed at the fore (which would be usual), but are on the same tonal plane as the rhythm group. By this means, a tightly-knit, typical, thrilling sound is achieved, with the result that this album must be counted among the top 100 in the jazz firmament. Generations of trumpeters have since studied Clifford Brown’s art of playing, who died tragically young in a car accident. Now, thanks to this top-quality re-release, listeners are offered a wonderful opportunity to study this Study In Brown. Recording: February 1955 in New York City
Eine mehr als gute Nachricht! Diese Platte steht auf meiner Einkaufsliste recht weit oben….
