Clifford Brown’s luminous trumpet leads the Max Roach quintet in a defining late-1950s bop session recorded in late 1954 and early 1955, with Harold Land on tenor and Richie Powell on piano. This Verve Acoustic Sounds Series edition remasters the classic Clifford Brown & Max Roach LP from the original analog tapes and presses it on 180-gram vinyl in a deluxe gatefold. Tracks like Delilah, Parisian Thoroughfare, The Blues Walk, Daahoud, Joy Spring, Jordu, and What Am I Here For? showcase Brown’s warm tone and Roach’s inventive drumming at the height of their collaboration. Mastering by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressing by Quality Record Pressings ensure high fidelity for a landmark hard bop record.
