An album of fabulous compositions played by outstanding musicians.
https://youtu.be/GslhRUBgXNI
Clifford Brown (Trumpet)
Harold Land (Tenor Saxophone)
George Morrow (Bass)
Richie Powell (Piano)
Max Roach (Drums)
I can listen to Clifford Brown, ("Brownie") all day long. His phrasing, technique and artistry were amazing for such a young "dude".
Note: Clifford Brown & Richie Powell died in a car crash in 56' while driving to a gig. A great loss to the music world. Richie was the brother of Bud Powell.
Here's more about the amazing "Brownie":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Brown
Enjoy,
Mark

Clifford and Max made beautiful music together. It s tragic when such a talented person is lost when their star is ascending. Love the album that you posted, Mark. Thanks.

Love Clifford Brown...I also "dig" Cannonball Adderley.
Canonball's Quintet with his brother Nat on cornet was fantastic. I was privileged to catch several performances at Birdland.
Thanks,

I had the pleasure and honor of working with George Morrow in a strolling trio setting at Walt Disney World in the late 1970's, early 1980's. Really sweet, gentle, soft-spoken guy with, of course, the most amazing stories about his years in the business - especially his years with Charlie Parker. Only a small handful of musicians at Disney knew George's history and stature in the business.
